Blacks Solicitors is making headlines with the strategic expansion of its holiday and home parks team, which now includes four new specialist solicitors. This development underscores the firm’s commitment to strengthening its services in a sector experiencing significant growth. The new team members are expected to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the firm, enhancing its ability to meet increasing client demands.
Among the recent appointees is Andrew Foulds, a senior associate solicitor with expertise in family law, whose skills are poised to benefit the department significantly. Alannah Crux, who specialises in commercial dispute resolution, joins alongside associate solicitor Anna Schiavetta, an employment expert. Senior associate solicitor Annie Beaumont, known for her proficiency in private wealth and succession, also joins the team, bringing a diverse range of expertise. These additions are strategically positioned to solidify the team’s capacity to handle complex issues within the holiday and home parks industry.
The team’s robust growth is reflected in their impressive achievement of securing £50 million in transactional work over the last year. They have effectively advised more than 40 new clients on various aspects of park ownership, including strategic succession planning for estates valued at over £100 million. The team’s approach encompasses every stage of park ownership—from acquisition or inheritance to efficient management and eventual sale—ensuring all processes are handled in the most tax-efficient manner.
Annie Beaumont commented on the collaboration within the team, stating, ‘It’s been a pleasure to have assisted in the development of our holiday and home parks specialism. I’m committed to continuing to deliver expert and high-quality services to our clients as the holiday and home parks offering continues to grow.’ This sentiment reflects the team’s dedication to maintaining high standards and pushing the boundaries of service quality.
Nick Dyson, who leads both the holiday and home parks and real estate teams at Blacks Solicitors, highlighted a significant trend over the last decade of increasing demand for services such as succession planning and legal advice on wills and powers of attorney. This trend has notably accelerated in the past 18 months, driving the need for team expansion to deliver national expertise while remaining Yorkshire-based.
Through strategic expansion and an emphasis on expertise, Blacks Solicitors continues to lead in the holiday and home parks sector.
