Gordon Brown—Naomi Potter

Law firm welcomes new family law specialist

North East firm Gordon Brown Law Firm LLP has strengthened its eight-strong family law team with the recruitment of a collaboratively trained lawyer.

Naomi Potter, who is originally from Norwich and moved to the region seven years ago, joins the firm with experience in the legal sector spanning 19 years.

She is an accredited specialist with Resolution, a UK-wide group of family justice professionals who work with families and individuals to resolve issues in a constructive way.

Naomi is also a member of the Law Society’s Family Law Accreditation Scheme and is trained in collaborative law, which means she can help advise the firm’s clients on alternative routes to dealing with their differences in a face-to-face setting.

Based in the Newcastle and Chester-le-Street offices, she will work with the family law team on matrimonial finance and divorce cases, as well as complex family and property matters.

Commenting on her appointment, Naomi said: ‘I made the decision to move to Gordon Brown Law Firm as I admired the team’s dedication to excellent customer service and client care. I’m really looking forward to working with head of family law, Simon Dakers, as well as the rest of the team.’
