The banking and finance team at Bristol-headquartered national law firm Burges Salmon has been strengthened with the arrival of real estate finance specialists Rohan Campbell and Tom Farrell as a partner and director respectively.
Both have joined from specialist London commercial real estate law firm Maples Teesdale, where Rohan was a partner and head of real estate finance, having previously worked at Irwin Mitchell and Herbert Smith Freehills. 
Tom, who was an Of Counsel solicitor in Maples Teesdale’s real estate finance team , has previously held roles at DLA Piper and Irwin Mitchell.
Rohan, pictured right, acts for lenders, including leading UK and European banks and debt funds on investment and development financing deals across the capital stack.
He also advises real estate investment funds, family offices, propcos and developers on their borrowing requirements.
His expertise covers a wide range of real estate sectors, including industrial, logistics, office, hotel, retail, private rented sector, student accommodation and commercial and residential development.
Rohan said: “Burges Salmon’s banking and finance team acts for some of the most high-profile organisations in the sector and it’s a great time to join the practice, in what I know is an exciting time of ongoing growth for the firm. 
“I’m particularly pleased to be starting with Tom and looking forward to us both working with new colleagues and side-by-side with clients on a range of exciting and complex matters.”
Meanwhile, Tom, pictured right, has considerable experience of acting for both lenders and borrowers on a wide range of real estate finance transactions, both development and investment.
Tom said: “I am thrilled to be joining Burges Salmon’s highly regarded banking and finance team, which has a strong reputation for excellence and client service.
“I’m looking forward to working with my new colleagues to provide innovative and strategic advice to our clients, and to helping progress the continued success of the firm as a whole.”
Burges Salmon banking and finance team head Andrew Eaton said Rohan and Tom were highly talented and experienced lawyers and would bring invaluable expertise and fresh perspectives to the team.
“Their appointments underline our commitment to attracting the best talent and will enhance our ability to deliver the highest quality legal advice to our clients, along with further strengthening our market-leading position,” he added.
“Their experience and expertise will also help us progress the firm’s ambitious strategy for growth and I look forward to working alongside them to build deep, long-lasting relationships with our clients.”
Burges Salmon employs around 1,000 people in its Bristol HQ and London and Edinburgh offices.
