Nichola Coghlan has been appointed as legal director, alongside Andrew McClurg as associate and Hannah Roleston as solicitor.

Richard Houliston, partner and head of the firm’s banking and finance team, said: “Nichola, Andrew, and Hannah bring a wealth of experience across real estate finance, corporate lending, social housing, and structured deals.

“Their expertise allows us to provide clients with practical, commercially focused solutions and reinforces our ability to deliver complex transactions seamlessly and with confidence.

“We had a busy 2025, with the firm being involved on a number of fantastic mandates, including several deals which have been shortlisted in the NI Dealmakers Awards 2026.”

He added: “Our ambition is clear: to build a market-leading financial services practice defined by technical excellence, sector insight, and the ability to deliver on the most complex transactions.

“We continue to provide market leading advices around social housing finance — for example advising Danske Bank on its £35m revolving credit facilities to Apex Housing Association.”
