ALMA was co-founded in January 2015 by Marc Ferster and Alex Brown, two real estate lawyers with extensive City law firm experience.

Having worked for a number of years with leading firms King & Wood Mallesons and Eversheds, Marc and Alex saw an opportunity to establish a Manchester based “on demand” provider offering a City quality service at a lower cost than our London-based competitors.

We work closely with King & Wood Mallesons and Ashurst and are currently the sole providers of on demand resource to their respective real estate teams.

Alex is a real estate lawyer with nearly 10 years experience. Alex worked as an associate in London at SJ Berwin LLP (now King & Wood Mallesons LLP) and Irwin Mitchell LLP before relocating to Manchester where he joined Eversheds LLP. He co-founded ALMA in January 2015.

Marc is a real estate lawyer with nearly 8 years experience. Marc trained in London at SJ Berwin LLP (now King & Wood Mallesons LLP) and spent several years at the firm before joining Eversheds LLP in Manchester. He co-founded ALMA in January 2015.
