Maples Teesdale appoints Rob Atkin-House as Partner
Appointment strengthens Planning team ahead of further expansion
Maples Teesdale, the UK’s leading full-service real estate law firm, today announces that Rob Atkin-House has joined the firm’s Planning team as Partner. This is the latest senior hire for Maples Teesdale, and further strengthens its Planning team, where his focus will be on bolstering its private strategic development offering.
Rob brings 20 years of planning experience to Maples Teesdale, joining from Weightmans, where he was Principal Associate in the firm’s national planning team. Rob was previously in-house General Counsel and Commercial Director of Populo Living, following four years at Mishcon de Reya where he advised a range of private sector clients on all aspects of planning, highways and compulsory purchase law.
Maples Teesdale represents some of the UK’s biggest property companies, funds and financial institutions including Yoo Capital, Dominus, Trenport, Lands Improvement, Quinn, Henry Boot and several high-net-worth individuals.
John Bosworth, Head of Planning at Maples Teesdale commented: “As the new Government’s planning policies begin to take shape, clients are increasingly looking for guidance on anticipating their likely impact as the legislative landscape shifts.
“Rob’s substantial expertise across varied civic and commercial projects, and his impressive track record of delivering strategic planning overview and oversight, will significantly strengthen our Planning offer. His appointment also signals our appetite for further growth of the Planning team to meet increased demand.”
Rob Atkin-House, Partner at Maples Teesdale commented: “I’m excited to be joining Maples Teesdale at a critical time for clients across the built environment. There are challenges abound for public and private sector organisations as the new Government’s policies become law, but also fresh opportunities by navigating them effectively, and I’m looking forward to building on the firm’s strong planning credentials to deliver real added value for our clients”.
