HCR Law has welcomed commercial real estate specialist Paul Alger to its London office. 

Alger specialises in high-profile acquisitions and disposals of investment assets in the UK. He advises institutional investors and developers, with recent highlights including the £600 million sale of two designer outlet centres, one of which is the largest in the UK; acting for a major UK pension fund on the £90 million disposal of a London shopping centre; and guiding an institutional client through the real estate aspects of a £200 million property fund sale. 

He also has experience in financings, re-financings, lettings and development projects. 

Alger commented: 'I’m really pleased to be joining HCR Law at such a dynamic time. The firm’s reputation for delivering high-quality, client-centred advice continues to grow in London. 

'I’m looking forward to supporting clients with complex investment deals, helping them achieve their goals and playing a role in the firm’s next chapter of growth.'

The firm relocated its London team to WTW (Willis Towers Watson) in the City of London, where Alger will be based. 

HCR Law acquired Leamington Spa-based law firm Wright Hassall in November, bringing HCR’s total number of offices in England and Wales to 12, with over 1,000 staff and a turnover of approximately £112m. 

Philip Parkinson, head of real estate at HCR Law, said: 'We’re thrilled to welcome Paul to the team. His experience in high-value investment work adds real strength to our offering as we continue to grow our real estate team in London, supporting our clients across London and nationally. 

'With our growth continuing at pace, we’re well placed to support our clients.'
