Howes Percival—Victoria Sandell & Laura Clarke

Cambridge office expands with two appointments

Regional firm Howes Percival has expanded its Cambridge office with the additions of Victoria Sandell and Laura Clarke.

Victoria (pictured) has joined the firm’s dispute resolution team as an associate, after spending almost seven years with Taylor Vinters LLP. She is widely experienced in handling a range of commercial disputes, spanning contractual issues, professional negligence claims, and shareholder disputes, as well as fraud and insolvency proceedings. She also has additional experience in alternative dispute resolution.

Laura spent more than five years with HRJ Foreman Law Solicitors in Hertfordshire. She specialises in commercial property matters, including acquisitions and disposals, and landlord and tenant issues.

Jonathan Greenhalgh, the head of Howes Percival's Cambridge office, said: ‘I'm delighted to welcome Victoria and Laura to Howes Percival. Since entering the Cambridge legal market in early 2015, we've quickly established ourselves as a major player, with a full service legal offering for the city. Victoria's appointment further strengthens our litigation and insolvency practice, while Laura joins our well established real estate team, already recognised as being one of the most comprehensive in the region.’
