Tees welcomes new Residential Property expert Legal Director

Tees is pleased to announce the arrival of a new Legal Director in the Residential Property team.

Simon Cooper brings a wealth of experience from his time as a Partner in the Cambridge office at a Top 60 UK law firm, where he had led the Residential Property team in Cambridge, having previously also been a Partner in another long-established Cambridge-based practice.

On his appointment, Simon commented: “I am excited to be joining Tees, who are on an ambitious growth journey.

I followed my father into residential property work and its collaborative nature has always appealed to me. I love working as part of a team to try and solve problems and navigate a way through potentially tricky situations.

I work hard to get to know my clients, as they expect me to provide a balanced assessment of risk and a nuanced approach that reflects their needs, particularly in time-sensitive cases.

I am passionate about building those connections as ultimately, I’m convinced it makes me a better lawyer. I very much look forward to start working with Tees.”

 

Simon predominantly works for high-net-worth individuals who are either moving home themselves, or trading investment properties and want a bespoke level of advice and service.

Executive Partner of the Residential Property team, Anne Elliss, said: “I am delighted that Simon has taken the decision to join Tees.

It’s an exciting time for us here and we are delighted to have his wealth of experience and strategic thinking which will certainly elevate our residential property offering.

Simon will undoubtedly have a positive impact on our clients and the firm."

 

Simon joins Tees in December 2024, having previously worked at HCR Law and brings a network of connections and breadth of experience in conveyancing for houses which sit on the upper end of the market. Simon will be predominantly based in Tees’ Cambridge office but will be assisting clients all over England and Wales.

 

Tees’ property conveyancing lawyers always act in the best interests of clients and aim to give robust and independent advice so that clients can make informed choices. The lawyers are members of the Law Society’s Conveyancing quality scheme and will cover everything from organising the local searches, checking contracts and making sure financial arrangements are in order, through to legal completion and clients receiving the keys.
