Leading Law firm Sintons has further boosted its specialist Real Estate department with the appointment of Newly Qualified Solicitor Lara Tulip, who joins the specialist Real Estate Finance Team.
Lara joins the Newcastle-based firm following two years as a trainee solicitor at a leading national law firm. She graduated from Northumbria University in 2024 with a First-Class Honours Master in Law (MLaw exempting) degree, officially qualifying as a solicitor this month.
In her new role at Sintons, Lara will advise panel appointed lender clients, supporting the expansion of one of the North East’s most respected real estate practices and in particular its real estate finance offering.
Commenting on her appointment, Lara Tulip said: “I am thrilled to be joining Sintons at such an exciting time for the firm. Sintons has an outstanding reputation both in the North East and nationally, not only for the high quality of its legal advice but also for its supportive and welcoming culture. I look forward to working alongside Partners David Ferguson and Alok Loomba and the wider Real Estate Finance team to support our lender clients and contribute to the practice’s continued growth.”
Alok Loomba, Partner and Head of Real Estate at Sintons, added: “We are delighted to welcome Lara to the Real Estate team. Her strong academic background and high-calibre training make her an excellent fit for Sintons. As our real estate finance practice continues to grow, with more panel appointments and increasingly complex and lender based funding transactions, investing in talented, ambitious young lawyers like Lara is central to our growth strategy.”
Outside of her legal career, Lara is a keen outdoor and fitness enthusiast who enjoys reformer Pilates, spending time at the gym, walking her dog, skiing with family, and travelling.
