Jonathan Cree has joined national law firm Clarke Willmott as a partner in the commercial property team in its Birmingham office, bolstering the firm’s residential development capability.
He joins Clarke Willmott from Gateley, where he was a legal director specialising in residential development acting for national developers and landowners.

Rayner Grice, head of Clarke Willmott’s Birmingham office, added that Jonathan Cree’s appointment would bring additional depth and experience to the firm’s commercial property team.
“His practical approach to complex development transactions and knowledge of the residential market will enhance the service we provide to clients in Birmingham and across the region.”
