Firm appoints residential & commercial property partner

DMH Stallard has appointed a new partner in Brighton.

Michael White brings almost 40 years’ residential and commercial property experience to the London and south east law firm.  

Previously at Penningtons Manches, his portfolio of work covers everything from multi-million pound rural estates and contemporary city complexes to modest family homes.

Michael said: ’I’m thrilled to be part of DMH Stallard.  

‘The firm’s growth across the south east in recent years has been really dynamic and so to be part of the expansion on the Sussex coast is exciting.  

‘I’ve worked in London for many years but the residential and commercial property sector in this city has an appeal all of its own.’

Tina George, partner and head of real estate at DMH Stallard, said: ’It would be difficult to find a legal property specialist with a stronger track record than Michael’s.

‘Our recruitment plans in the Brighton office are ahead of schedule thanks to the firm’s ability to attract the very best people.’
