Hannah Quarterman joins AG’s London office as a Partner in the Planning and Infrastructure Consenting team, arriving from Hogan Lovells where she led the Planning team. With nearly two decades of experience, Hannah is noted for advising leading developers on strategic planning, stakeholder engagement and the delivery of complex, multi‑phase developments. Her track record includes involvement in high‑profile projects such as Brent Cross Town, Bishopsgate Goodsyard and major regeneration schemes across London, and she is described as ‘absolutely exceptional’ in The Legal 500.
