Hempsons recruits ex-Radcliffes property head

Hempsons has added RadcliffesLeBrasseur's former head of property Charles Farrer to its growing commercial property team. Farrer, a Radcliffes partner for more than 10 years, joined Hempsons following a year-long sabbatical in France. He said: "While Hempsons' London office already has a strong non-healthcare commercial property practice, my focus will be to broaden its property client base." The firm hiked turnover by 40 per cent in its London commercial property practice this year.
