Leading regional law firm Gardner Leader has announced the appointment
of Oxford-based corporate and commercial partner, Sally Addis. Sally,
along with her current team, expand Gardner Leader’s reach and services into
the Oxfordshire region.
Sally has been advising corporate and commercial clients across the UK and
internationally for the past 25 years, founding Addis Law 12 years ago. Since its inception, the Addis Law team has developed a reputation for
commercially astute, pragmatic advice, and for building long-term relationships
with its clients – working with large corporate clients, SMEs, charities,
universities, and private individuals.
Sally and her consultants join an expanding, highly experienced team of
legal professionals. Gardner Leader employs over 180 staff, working across
specialist teams each dedicated to providing specific services to businesses
and to individuals.
Sally Addis said: 'Joining Gardner Leader will result in good things for all
of our clients. I’m excited by the possibilities. My team and I have always had
a long term, partnership-building mentality towards our clients and Gardner
Leader has a similar approach. Addis Law has always run a team of highly
experienced professionals, who punch well above their weight, and we are
looking forward to joining the Gardner Leader team.'
For over 120 years Gardner Leader has been providing services to businesses
and to individuals, specialising in corporate and commercial, dispute resolution,
residential property and conveyancing, inheritance protection and family law.
The firm has tripled in size over the last 10 years and has offices
throughout the South-East, South-West, London and now Oxfordshire. In 2021 the
firm merged with Swindon-based commercial, corporate and real estate
solicitors, Clark Holt, helping to reinforce its services to businesses, and to
compete against other regional and city law firms.
Derek Rodgers, managing Partner at Gardner Leader, said: 'We’re delighted to be welcoming Sally and her team to the Gardner Leader family. Sally is a vastly experienced solicitor and a highly regarded, trusted legal professional. By having feet on the ground in Oxfordshire it will enable us to further support our commercial and corporate clients.'
