Deborah North—Royds

City move for law firm’s legal executive

Solicitors Royds has strengthened the property team at its City office.

Legal executive Deborah North joined Royds last summer and has been working with the firm’s thriving client base in South London.

She has now been transferred to Carter Lane from the law firm’s Morden branch, ensuring she is also well placed to service the solicitors’ high-net-worth clients in the West End and the City.

Deborah, who previously worked at the Land Registry before moving into private practice, said that it was an exceptionally busy time for the local property market.

Gareth Williams, Royds’ head of property, says: “Having Deborah based in the City office also has its benefits, as many of the people buying and selling homes in areas such as Wimbledon, Wandsworth and Sutton work in the centre of London. 

“Our Morden office is still open and we are available to have meetings with clients there.”
