Cambridge office takes on six new recruits

Birketts has made a number of recent appointments in its Cambridge office.

Roopa Ahluwalia has joined as a senior associate; Deborah Marshall has been appointed as an associate and Adam Murphy, Amy Barnett, Naomi Tayler and Oli Worth join as solicitors.

Adrian Seagers, head of Birketts' corporate/commercial division based in Cambridge, says: ““We’re delighted that we’ve been able to recruit personnel of such a high calibre in Cambridge. With new members joining the family and matrimonial, commercial property, corporate, commercial litigation and construction teams we’ll continue to provide our clients with the first class service they’ve come to expect. Since launching our Cambridge office we’ve enjoyed a fourfold increase in staff numbers, attracting key individuals across the firm’s main service areas. As a result, we’ll shortly be moving offices; after several years of expansion we’ve simply outgrown our existing premises.”
