Information about the specialist
kirsten.hewson@shoosmiths.co.ukPractice Areas
Kirsten Hewson is head of the real estate division at Shoosmiths, responsible for driving forward the strategy and vision of one of the largest real estate practices in the UK.
As divisional head, Kirsten manages more than 270 legal advisers, including UK wide teams in core real estate, construction, planning and real estate litigation. The teams are integrated across offices and managed nationally, so that well-leveraged teams (including relevant specialisms) can be selected to meet precisely the needs of project. This client centred approach, which encourages both collaboration and flexibility, is frequently cited as a benefit by Shoosmiths real estate clients who include developers (residential and commercial), investors, occupiers and institutional lenders.
A key focus for the real estate division is the continuing development of integrated solutions to clients, including the innovations and efficiencies (including AI) that clients expect in a changing, and potentially challenging, market.
Before being appointed divisional head in 2018, Kirsten led Shoosmiths planning, environment and CPO team, doubling its size and gaining a top ten ranking in the prestigious Planning Law survey 2018.
She is described in the current edition of Chambers UK as a seasoned planning lawyer who is commercially-minded.
