Russell-Cooke has recruited Joanna Crow as a legal director in its planning team.
Joanna has a track record advising on planning for the full spectrum of development work involving residential, commercial and mixed-use schemes as well as advising on consortium and strategic land.
Working with developers, including major housebuilders, landowners, local authorities and various other commercial operators, Joanna has experience advising on a wide variety of transaction types. She supports clients on all planning issues including the due diligence and review of planning aspects, negotiating planning and infrastructure agreements, advising on affordable housing and viability, CIL, planning strategy, biodiversity net gain (BNG), nutrient and water neutrality, planning conditions and supporting clients in planning appeals and inquiries.
Joanna joins Russell-Cooke from DAC Beachcroft. She is cross-qualified in Australia and England having first been admitted as a solicitor in 2007. Having started her career in property primarily working for developers she is now specialised in planning.
Joanna brings valuable added experience to our planning team, enhancing our ability to provide a premium service to clients on the full range of development projects. This is an exciting time for the practice, and we greatly look forward to working with Joanna to continue to grow our offering in this space.
Russell-Cooke has an outstanding reputation in the real estate market and across transactions of all kinds and sizes, from individual matters through to major development projects. The firm offers the perfect environment for me to continue to grow my practice and I look forward to working alongside the team to support clients as they navigate planning issues. Planning continues to increase in complexity, as planning and infrastructure reforms continue to make their way through Parliament.
