Excello Law—four appointments

Lancashire business and real estate team joins Excello Law

Excello Law, a consultancy-model law firm, has recently expanded its team in Lancashire with the arrival of Chris Crawley, Matthew Scott, Katie McAlister, and Emma Mason. The highly skilled specialists in business, corporate, and real estate law join from Coupe Bradbury Solicitors, bringing their extensive expertise to Excello.

With a robust background in corporate and commercial law, Matthew Scott, who qualified in 2006, specialises in business sales and acquisitions, encompassing both share and asset transactions. His diverse sector experience spans childcare, care and domiciliary care, retail, and engineering. Matthew also provides legal advice to property developers, adding further depth to his practice.

Chris Crawley, a qualified solicitor since 2017, brings a wealth of knowledge in commercial real estate matters. His wide-ranging experience includes property development, real estate finance, pension scheme transfers, sales and purchases, landlord and tenant work, option and overage agreements, as well as residential conveyancing.

Emma Mason and Katie McAlister, both qualified in 2022, offer comprehensive counsel across corporate and real estate matters, aligning with the expertise mentioned above. Their combined skill sets further strengthen Excello Law's capabilities in delivering the highest quality legal service to clients.

Upon joining Excello Law, Chris expressed his enthusiasm, stating, 'We explored various options, but Excello stood out from the first discussion as the 'complete' package and the best fit for myself and the rest of the team. I already know some people at Excello, which allowed me to gain a clear understanding of how consultancy works and what to expect.'

Julie Mogan, Regional Director at Excello Law, commented 'We are delighted that Excello Law is the destination firm for highly experienced lawyers and are thrilled to bring our new specialists on board. They join our senior legal team in the North West, offering a full range of commercial and private client legal services and will bring valuable expertise.

'Excello Law remains committed to expanding its reach across major legal hubs and actively seeks experienced individuals, teams, and firms looking for a smarter way to work within a collaborative environment. We have considerable experience in welcoming and transitioning full team and firm moves to consultancy working at Excello. We continue to attract highly experienced legal professionals who are eager to provide exceptional legal service to their clients.'
