SAS Daniels expands commercial property team with partner hire

Stockport full-service law firm, SAS Daniels LLP, has expanded its commercial property department with the appointment of Nicola Deutsch as partner.

Nicola joins the firm, which also has offices in Chester, Congleton and Macclesfield, from Slater Heelis where she was partner and head of residential development. At SAS Daniels, Nicola will be responsible for residential developments within the commercial team, specialising in site set ups, Section 106 Agreements and property finance.

Called upon by clients for her vast experience acting for developers on sites nationwide as well as on bijou schemes, Nicola also has extensive public sector experience.

The latest appointment follows ten additions last year to the firm’s commercial and residential property teams following a surge in property transactions in the region.

Jeremy Orrell, chief executive officer at SAS Daniels, said:

“With more than 30 years’ experience, Nicola is a fantastic addition to our growing commercial property team. This is a complex area of law and the fact that we have recruited someone of Nicola’s calibre is testament to the strength of our department. Nicola’s arrival will significantly strengthen our residential development capabilities.”

Nicola Deutsch (pictured), who will be based at the Stockport office, said:

“It’s an exciting time to join the firm as it continues its growth trajectory. After a lull at the start of the pandemic, there is now a backlog of developments that are coming to the fore. I’m looking forward to working with existing clients at the firm and growing our client base.”
