Following a competitive tender process, Shakespeare Martineau has been reappointed to Barratt Redrow’s non-contentious legal services panel, retaining a client relationship spanning more than 30 years.
Running from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with the option to extend for a further three years, the appointment follows Barratt’s merger with Redrow and enables Shakespeare Martineau to build on its longstanding relationship with the UK’s largest housebuilder and extend its support across the enlarged business.
As part of the three-year appointment, the national law firm joins a panel of full-service providers capable of delivering non-contentious legal support to Barratt Redrow’s divisional offices and group functions across England, Wales and Scotland.
Shakespeare Martineau’s work will cover a broad range of property, construction and commercial matters, with the firm advising on plot sales and site set-up, site acquisitions and disposals, strategic land, affordable housing, and bulk and private rented sector disposals.
It will also encompass infrastructure and planning agreements, planning and tax advice, joint ventures, construction and building safety, commercial contracts, intellectual property, and advertising and marketing.
The bid was supported by a team that included residential development partners Debbie Irwin and Lucy Haynes, planning partner Paul Wakefield and commercial services partner Selina Hinchliffe.
Debbie said: “Retaining our place on Barratt Redrow’s legal services panel is a significant achievement for the firm and reflects the depth of our relationship and understanding of the business, which has been developed over more than 30 years.
“As Barratt Redrow continues to bring its enlarged business together, we look forward to building on that partnership and supporting its divisions across the full range of legal and commercial matters covered by the panel.”
