Double appointment in North West family firm 

North west firm McAlister Family Law has bolstered the team with the appointment of assistant solicitors Anna Rooney and Aaron Williams.

Anna joins the firm’s Alderley Edge offices after more than six years with Slater and Gordon. Her previous experience also includes working in the legal department of the Greater Manchester Police Force. She handles a wide array of family law matters, with particular specialisation in divorce and matrimonial finance involving assets or business overseas.

Joining the firm’s Manchester office, Aaron comes on board from North Wales family firm Bennett Smith Solicitors. ‘Family Law attracted me at the very outset of my career in the legal industry,’ he said, ‘and with McAlister Family Law I was also drawn to the firm by the sheer quality of the people who make up such a dynamic team, as well as being excited by the swift growth and development of the business in such a short space of time. This is a firm that is a game-changer and I am thrilled to be a part of it.’

Amanda McAlister, managing director, added: ‘I’m very pleased to welcome Anna and Aaron on board. Both bring enthusiasm and talent in spades, and both are dedicated to delivering a service to our clients that vastly exceeds their expectations.’
