Linklaters’ UK head of real estate Anne Byrne has resigned from the firm, it has emerged, with the news coming after the departures of a number of other real estate partners from the magic circle firm.

Byrne, who resigned two months ago, has led the firm’s UK real estate practice since the start of 2011. She succeeded global and UK head Patrick Plant, who stood down following two terms in the role, the maximum allowed at the magic circle firm.
