Dorset law firm Frettens has launched a new specialist social housing team.

Ben Cobb is heading up the team with Oonagh McKinney.

Both have gained a reputation for their work on property acquisitions for registered social landlords, which was commended in this year’s Legal 500 Guide.

They are assisted by Sharon Windsor and new team member, solicitor Hannah Martin.

The team will work closely with commercial solicitor Karen Edwards and the firm’s dispute resolution and landlord & tenant teams to ensure social housing providers, developers and investors are provided with a full service.

The team has already drawn praise from some of their nationwide client base, having advised on multi-million pound portfolio acquisitions for developers and social housing providers.

Ben said: “I am delighted to head up this new social housing team, so that we can increase our offering of services to registered providers of social housing, housing associations, investors and developers of social housing and support/care providers.

“We can assist with acquisitions, leases, all ancillary documentations in relation to social housing portfolios and dispute resolution.”
