 James Crookes, Head of Real Estate at Pinsent Masons, comments: "We're delighted that Anthony is joining us, and I'm sure his expertise will complement and support our team. The alternative asset sector in the UK continues to expand apace and we're confident that Anthony's experience in this area, particularly with student accommodation and PRS, will be of great benefit to our clients."

 Anthony is a member of the Investment Property Forum and Cambridge Land Society, and is the current co-editor of the third edition of the Global Legal Insights handbook on Commercial Real Estate.
