Firm announces property litigation partner appointment

Midlands firm mfg Solicitors has announced the appointment of property litigation solicitor Kevin Morgan as a partner at the firm’s Worcester office.

Kevin (pictured left), who has spent three decades as a solicitor, will provide specialist advice on all contentious property-related matters for the firm’s clients, both regionally and nationally. He will work closely with partner and head of department Kirsten Bridgewater (pictured right).

Kirsten said: ‘Kevin is a first-class addition to our team and the firm as a whole.

‘With decades of experience, he is well respected for his expertise in a variety of property and civil litigation related matters, particularly possession proceedings, and all aspects of neighbour disputes and professional negligence.

‘He also has a particular interest in insurance matters which is already adding a new dimension to the team. I look forward to Kevin contributing to our success in the months and years ahead.’

Kevin added: ‘It’s a great opportunity to join mfg Solicitors and I was attracted to the firm due to its longstanding reputation across the Midlands and beyond.

‘Working with Kirsten and the team, I want to expand the breadth of our property litigation services but also ensure our clients get the best possible service.

‘Overall, I hope to add even more experience to an already well-established team and contribute in developing the firm’s credentials further.’
