Prosperity Law has further expanded its Real Estate practice with the appointment of experienced partner Alex Walsh. This strategic hire comes just 14 months after Karen Piontek joined as Head of Real Estate, marking another milestone in the firm’s fast-growing property law division. Alex’s appointment reflects rising client demand and forms a key part of Prosperity Law’s broader growth trajectory.

Karen commented:

“It’s great to finally share the news of Alex’s appointment as Partner in Real Estate, and his expertise will further strengthen our expanding team. Alex will work across all areas of Real Estate, and I look forward to our working together for the success of our clients and growth of the firm.”

Alex brings a wealth of experience as a Partner and Real Estate Solicitor from roles within large regional and international firms. Specialising in Commercial Property, Alex has represented a variety of clients, including banks, pension funds, as well as individual investors. He is experienced in the full array of Real Estate transactions and delivers efficient, client-focused advice – making him well-aligned with Prosperity’s own standard of service.

Alex said of his appointment:

“On meeting Karen and the wider team, it was clear we shared the same ethos in terms of delivering for clients and working collectively as a team to achieve results. I look forward to helping the firm continue its growth trajectory and the team to serve more clients with pragmatic, effective legal support.”

With offices across the North of England and London, Alex will be based within the Manchester office – which has enjoyed a flurry of individual successes in the last few weeks. Jennifer Shaw recently qualified as a Solicitor and will be working across the Commercial Litigation and Contentious Property teams, whilst Bethany Coward has begun her training contract, following  a couple of  years as a paralegal at the firm. These moves further recognise Prosperity’s work to bring on the next generation of legal talent.

Andrew Farrell, Office Managing Partner in Manchester commented:

“Our investment in our people and ability to recruit high-calibre, experienced partners is testament to our achievements to date as well as our ambitious plans to continue growing our firm. Alex’s appointment is the latest example of this – and I look forward to welcoming him to the team.”
