Leading litigator joins Bromsgrove team

mfg Solicitors has expanded its Property Litigation department with the appointment of specialist solicitor Claire Liddy.

Based at mfg's Bromsgrove office, Claire will work alongside partner and head of department Kirsten Bridgewater, as well as experienced partners Harjie Bindra and Kevin Morgan, and senior associate Stephanie Rushfirth.

Claire will handle a variety of matters including boundary and co-ownership disputes, restrictive covenants breaches, adverse possession claims, trespass, lease renewals, and interference with property rights, such as rights of way and prescriptive rights. She is also joined by recently appointed Worcester-based paralegal, Bruce Rodford, as the department expands to a team of nine fee earners.

Kirsten Bridgewater commented: 'Claire is a superb solicitor and is already proving to be a fantastic addition to our growing team, managing a wide range of property litigation matters. She worked in conveyancing for 12 years prior to moving into litigation, so brings with her the added expertise. Claire now specialises in all aspects of property-related disputes and will add yet more drive and experience to the team. I look forward to her contributing to our success in the months and years ahead and continue our focus on providing the best possible service to our clients. I am also delighted to welcome Bruce to the team, adding further to our strength and depth at our Worcester office.'

Claire Liddy added: 'It’s a wonderful opportunity to join a firm which has such a tremendous reputation both regionally and nationally. I’m excited to be joining at such a key period of growth and working alongside the team, I hope to bring a calm, measured approach and use my experience to help our clients find practical solutions to the property issues they face.'
