Congratulations to our specialist residential development team, who have been shortlisted in the Law Firm of the Year category at the 2026 Midlands Residential Property Awards. 

Organised and hosted by business media title Insider Media, the awards celebrate ‘the remarkable achievements of the region’s residential sector, recognising the people, businesses and organisations which have designed, developed, funded, built and managed homes and communities across the Midlands’.

As well as showcasing the full service capabilities of the Gateley Legal team, the shortlisting recognises how we go above and beyond for our clients, with examples including: our work supporting a historic restoration project in Birmingham; how we successfully pieced together a jigsaw parcel acquisition to unlock a large development; and a significant residential acquisition which required the delivery of a highly-coordinated and commercially-focused legal solution. 

Natalie Edwards, residential development partner, said: “The Insider Midlands Residential Property Awards are a real highlight of the industry calendar and, as such, we are thrilled to have been shortlisted. Over the past 12 months, the team has worked tirelessly for our clients to overcome challenges and deliver fantastic results. What has stood out this year has been the seamless collaboration across the wider business. Our integrated approach has allowed us to deliver clear, consistent and commercially-aligned advice to our clients at every stage of a development. We are looking forward to the ceremony and to celebrating what is a thriving residential development scene here in the Midlands. Good luck to everybody who is shortlisted on the evening!”

The winners will be announced at a prestigious black-tie ceremony at Edgbaston Stadium on Thursday 18 June and the full shortlist can be seen here.
