Clare said: ‘Joining Stephen, James and the rest of the team at mfg Solicitors presents an exciting opportunity for me to grow and develop our corporate offering.

‘The firm’s large client base of corporate businesses and high net-worth individuals is well recognised and impressive. I’m looking forward to strengthening the range of services provided by the firm and helping to cement mfg’s reputation as a premier provider of corporate and commercial legal services.’

Chairman Maynard Burton (left) added: ‘Clare is a first-rate and hugely admired corporate and commercial law specialist who will add significantly to an already respected team. Having successfully worked closely with both large and small businesses for 16 years, she has the credentials, track record and professionalism we look for in a partner.
