Anthony Collins Solicitors appoints two new legal directors in November promotions round

Anthony Collins Solicitors (ACS) has announced the appointment of two new legal directors with over 20 years of experience between them at the sector specialist national law firm.

Gayle Monk joined ACS in 2005 as a paralegal, training and qualifying at ACS. She now works predominantly with local government and housing sector clients on procurement, contracts and related legal issues, focusing on both social value and climate and biodiversity-related projects.

Gayle will use her new director position to focus on a coordinated approach to supporting clients on issues of climate change, decarbonisation, and waste and recycling across all sectors. 

Gayle leads the legal compliance certification programme for social housing clients, developing a comprehensive assurance product which gives confidence to housing associations that areas of non-compliance are spotted and addressed.

Katherine Sinclair joined the employment and pensions team at ACS four years ago and has since built strong client relationships across the housing, education and charity sectors. She now leads the development of both the social housing and education sector work in the firm. 

The two promotions follow ACS’ continued investment into growing the firm via internal appointments and strategic lateral hires, with eight new partners appointed across 2022.

Peter Hubbard, senior partner at Anthony Collins Solicitors, said:

“The combined expertise and important work of Gayle and Katherine will continue to help support our clients and their businesses in these challenging times.

“Gayle joined ACS 17 years ago and qualified with the firm. Her ongoing work growing our legal compliance certification programme and supporting clients on social value and climate issues has been invaluable.

“Katherine brings continued positive energy to the team as she focuses on her business development initiatives. This new role will help provide further support for our clients and help towards the firm’s strategic objective of growing our housing support network.

“I would like to congratulate both of them on their achievements and thank them for the commitment and continued support they have shown to our goal of creating positive change.”
