Faller, who joins Farrers on 14 January, sat in Trowers’ commercial property practice, where she was a partner.
She has experience in working on property investment, joint ventures, waste management and mineral extraction and private finance initiative projects. Her arrival means Farrers now has five dedicated property partners.
Faller qualified at Gouldens — now Jones Day — before becoming a partner in 1989.
Farrers head of property James Furber said: “The growth in our commercial property work has seen the need to expand rather more quickly than our usual organic growth, by the recruitment of select practitioners. Faller is well-known to members of the team who have worked with her on projects over the past 20 years or so.”
The move comes a year after Farrers secured the appointment of high-profile town planning lawyer Pat Thomas as a consultant in its commercial property team.
Thomas previously spent 18 years at SJ Berwin where she was the partner responsible for establishing its planning and environment practice. She left the firm in 2006 to take up a three-month consultancy role for an advisory body at national regeneration agency English Partnerships.
Farrers recently named Cushman & Wakefield European counsel Ben Bennett as its new chief operating officer, in a newly-created role at the firm.
