Reading: Blandy & Blandy expands property team

Law firm Blandy & Blandy’s property team has continued its recent expansion following the arrival of Andrew Bond from Taylor Vinters, which has offices in Cambridge, London and Singapore.

Bond brings over 35 years’ experience in acting for commercial property investment companies and individuals in the acquisition and disposal of mixed property portfolios nationwide. He is also involved with the financial structuring of these transactions, including negotiations with funders where appropriate. He has also acted for UK banks in relation to their loans to property investors and institutions.

Partner and team head Jane Gunnell said: “We are delighted to have Andrew on board. He brings significant experience in inward investment and property finance, which will be of great interest and benefit to our clients.”

Bond added: “I am excited to join Blandy & Blandy and very much look forward to working with the firm to further develop the UK and international property practice.”

In addition, Bond has been involved in major infrastructure projects, ranging from developments related to the 2012 Olympic Games which included advising on the new cable car link across the Thames in East London, now known as the Emirates Air Line. He has also advised a major consortium of land owners relating to renewable energy and off-shore wind farms as well as leading educational charitable institutions on property matters.

Bond is joined in the property team by fellow new arrivals, solicitors Hayley Moore and Dr Nataliya Topliss.
