Specialist solicitor takes on newly created role 

Specialist litigation firm Hudgell Solicitors has welcomed John Cuss, the current vice chair of the Law Society’s Civil Litigation Section Committee, to the team. 

John joins the firm in the newly created role of corporate services solicitor. His role will cover areas such as regulatory change, risk, professional reputation and compliance, while also providing insights into forthcoming industry developments and reform. He joins the firm from Minster Law, where he previously worked with Rachel Di Clemente, who was appointed chief executive at Hudgell Solicitors earlier this year. 

Rachel said: ‘As a business Hudgell Solicitors has never been a legal firm which has stood still and this has been evidenced clearly in recent years as we have expanded into new areas of the country, and new areas of work, whilst maintaining and developing the core services we have always provided.’

‘John has established a reputation for providing critical insight into where the industry is heading and understanding the future outlook so he will be a really valuable asset to our business.’

John added: ‘I’m excited to be joining Hudgell Solicitors as it is a firm which has developed an excellent reputation for both providing the very best client service across a number of specialist areas, and for having pulled together a team of experienced and talented solicitors.’
