Avocats en Construction

Kirsten Hewson

Kirsten Hewson is head of the real estate division at Shoosmiths, responsible for driving forward the strategy and vision of one of the largest real estate practices in the UK. As divisional head, Kirsten manages more than 270 legal advisers, including UK-wide teams in core real estate, construction, planning and real estate litigation. The teams are integrated across offices and managed nationally, so that well-leveraged teams (including relevant specialisms) can be selected to meet precisely the needs of project. This client-centred approach, which encourages both collaboration and flexibility, is frequently cited as a benefit by Shoosmiths’ real estate clients who include developers (residential and commercial), investors, occupiers and institutional lenders. A key focus for the real estate division is the continuing development of integrated solutions to clients, including the innovations and efficiencies (including AI) that clients expect in a changing – and potentially challenging – market. Before being appointed divisional head in 2018, Kirsten led Shoosmiths’ planning, environment and CPO team, doubling its size and gaining a top ten ranking in the prestigious Planning Law survey 2018. She is described in the current edition of Chambers UK as “a seasoned planning lawyer who is commercially-minded." A refreshingly ‘outside-in’ thinker who is not afraid to challenge law firm norms, she is valued by clients - and by Shoosmiths’ leadership team - for her strategic insights.

Kirsty Corkum

I am a real estate lawyer working on high value, complex developments, prelettings and investments. With over twenty five years experience in the real estate sector, I provide legal advice to developers, purchasers, landlords and tenants of UK property. I have worked extensively on high value mixed use, leisure/hotel and office urban development projects. I coordinate specialist planning and construction lawyers and work with other real estate consultants to deliver a holistic legal product which anticipates the drivers/requirements of funders, purchasers/occupiers and other stakeholders in order to achieve project completion - without unwelcome surprises. I love working as part of the development and transactional team; it is this integration which enables me to forecast upcoming pinch points and provide solutions and delivers the job satisfaction of creating - with others – place making destinations. I work both with UK developers/ investors and international organisations; helping them successfully navigate the idiosyncrasies of the UK market.
