Simon Cooper joins Tees from HCR Law to work with high-net-worth individuals

Tees has appointed a new legal director in its residential property team who specialises in working with high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs).

Simon Cooper has joined the business, whose head office is in London Road, Bishop’s Stortford, having previously worked for top 60 UK firm HCR Law where he led its Cambridge-based residential property team.

Cooper predominantly works with HNWIs who are either moving home themselves or trading investment properties and want a bespoke level of advice and service.

“I am excited to be joining Tees, who are on an ambitious growth journey,” he said.

“I followed my father into residential property work and its collaborative nature has always appealed to me.

“I love working as part of a team to try to solve problems and navigate a way through potentially tricky situations.

“I work hard to get to know my clients as they expect me to provide a balanced assessment of risk and a nuanced approach that reflects their needs, particularly in time-sensitive cases. “I am passionate about building those connections as, ultimately, I’m convinced it makes me a better lawyer.”

Cooper joined Tees last month and has brought a network of connections and breadth of experience in conveyancing for houses which sit on the upper end of the market.

“It’s an exciting time for us here and we are delighted to have his wealth of experience and strategic thinking which will certainly elevate our residential property offering,” said Anne Elliss, executive partner of Tees’ residential property team.

“Simon will undoubtedly have a positive impact on our clients and the firm.”
