Mark Turner has joined the legal firm’s Planning, Environment Energy and Regulatory team as a Partner
Top 200 law firm Aaron & Partners has moved to strengthen one of its core teams with the appointment of a new Partner.
Mark Turner has joined the Planning, Environment, Energy and Regulatory team and will support clients across the UK, including utilities firms, supermarkets, housebuilders and energy developers.
He links up with Aaron & Partners following almost a decade with FBC Manby Bowdler, where he managed many of the firm’s most high-profile clients with a focus on planning law.
Mark said: “I felt the time was right for a change and I’ve long admired Aaron & Partners – both in terms of the type of clients the firm supports, but also the calibre of people that work here.
“Some of the work is fascinating and we’re dealing with some incredibly high-profile cases, including the Hillside Parks case, which recently came before the Supreme Court. These are some of the things that really attracted me to the firm and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
Mark has acted for PLC housebuilders, SME developers, landowners and farmers, and will continue to work with a range of commercial clients for Aaron & Partners. He will advise on a wide range of matters including applications and appeals, Certificates of Lawfulness, High Court challenges, and enforcement.
David Harries, Aaron & Partners’ Head of Planning, Environmental, Energy and Regulatory, added: “We’re delighted to announce Mark as a new Partner within our team. He’s someone we’ve been closely connected to over the years, and I always felt he would be a wonderful addition to the firm, so I’m very pleased that he’s agreed to join us.
“As a department we are seeing increasing demand for our services, and I only expect that to continue. Mark is joining at a very exciting time and will play a key role in our future growth.”
