Robert Meadows

Originally from Clitheroe, Robert went on from Grammar School to obtain a Law degree at Aberystwyth University before beginning his legal career in Birmingham, where he qualified and practiced until 1996. After deciding that his spiritual home lay in the North, he joined a commercial practice in Leeds before joining us in February 2006.

Now a consultant solicitor, Robert was previously both the managing partner of the practice and head of the property department, but is now solely devoted to client-facing work, continuing the firm’s core principle of providing high-quality, professional and personal service to his clients.

Having qualified as a Solicitor in 1991, Robert has over 35 years’ experience across a wide range of property matters, both commercial and residential. His specialism is commercial property, but his experience ranges from disposals and acquisitions of large property portfolios, landlord and tenant and development work, and business sales and purchases through to domestic sales, purchases and remortgages.

Some notable transactions which Robert has completed include the sale of a high-class business park for £10m and heading up a team of lawyers dealing with the property aspects (involving over 100 properties) of the sale of a travel company to a well-known tour operator. He is unwaveringly committed to securing a positive outcome, whether it be a major commercial transaction or a more modest domestic one.

Accustomed to working under pressure to achieve tight deadlines in the commercial world, Robert enjoys the incredible variety of work at Newstead & Walker. His greatest pleasure is not the intellectual challenges which such work brings, satisfying as that may be, but simply delivering client satisfaction.

Married with three children, Robert’s interests include triathlon (training and competing), art (appreciating and attempting) and his children (fetching and paying for, apparently).
