Appointments in family & dispute resolution teams
Regional law firm Gardner Leader has welcomed two more solicitors to its 200-strong team with the appointments of senior associates Jeremy Tier (pictured right) and Will Castledine (pictured left), who join the firm’s family and dispute resolution teams, respectively.
Jeremy has practiced exclusively in family law since 2005. He previously held roles at Batt Broadbent, where he spent nearly ten years, and most recently he was partner and head of divorce and financial matters at Wansbroughs in Wiltshire. Jeremy specialises in financial matters arising from divorce and is highly experienced in advising high net worth clients with complex needs, including pre-nuptial agreements, and negotiating and settling cohabitation disputes.
Before joining Gardner Leader’s dispute resolution team, Will spent a decade at City-based law firm Olephant Solicitors. Will specialises in commercial litigation, with a focus on shareholder, company and contentious insolvency disputes. He has significant experience advising on matters before the High Court, including appellate experience before the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
Jeremy said: ‘It’s a privilege to be joining such a talented and well-established firm during an exciting period in its long history. Family law is an area in which Gardner Leader is well respected, and I’m delighted to be adding my nearly two decades of experience to the mix.’
Will added: ‘Gardner Leader is a firm which continues to solidify its position as one of the leading firms in the South of England across all practice areas. I’m looking forward to meeting our clients and working with the team to further demonstrate our expertise.’
Derek Rodgers, managing partner, said: ‘We’re thrilled to have both Will and Jeremy join the Gardner Leader team. Their wealth of skills and knowledge will further strengthen our dispute resolution and family teams.
‘As a firm our purpose is to deliver best-in-class advice, guidance and service to our clients, ensuring they have peace of mind throughout the entire legal process. Will and Jeremy will play key roles within their respective teams, and their appointments mark a successful period of growth for the firm which we hope to continue over the coming months and years.’
