Commercial property specialist joins Taylor Bracewell

Long established Doncaster legal practice Taylor Bracewell is delighted to announce that Paul Hawkes is joining its commercial department.  Paul specialises in commercial and commercial property law and is well known by businesses in Yorkshire for his expert knowledge and practical approach to the law.

Hailing from Doncaster, Paul studied law at The University of Sheffield where he achieved the coveted ‘First’ in his law degree, winning the Fourmat Publishing Prize in equity and trusts.  He went on to achieve an LLM by research in ‘The Nature of Property’, which gives him advanced understanding of the principles of commercial property. 
 
Paul qualified as a Solicitor in 1999 and has specialised in commercial and commercial property law ever since.  Having gained experienced in some of the other leading legal practices such as DLA, Pinsents, HLW, Nabarro, AMS and Atteys, Paul has worked as a partner and head of department, leading large departments and helping to increase turnover substantially.  Whilst working at AMS, Paul was recommended by the Legal 500 for his commercial property work.  He now joins Taylor Bracewell from Simpson Sissons and Brooke in Sheffield. 

Paul has been married for 22 years and has one daughter who has now embarked upon her own university studies, giving him time to indulge in his musical passion for playing jazz guitar, keyboard and composing and feeding his artistic streak in 3D animation on computers -  not to mention improving his expertise in martial arts (green belt in Jiu-Jitsu and blue belt in Taekwondo).

Sharon Beck, commercial partner at Taylor Bracewell says “We are absolutely delighted that Paul is joining us.  He brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise and we are pleased that businesses in our locality will now be able to take advantage of his skills and knowledge”.
