mfg Solicitors—Rhiannon Phelps

Property litigation team expands with appointment

Midlands law firm mfg Solicitors has bolstered its respected property litigation department with the appointment of a new solicitor.

Property dispute specialist Rhiannon Phelps (pictured, left) has joined mfg’s property litigation team making it nine-strong and underlining its position as one the largest of its type in the region. 

Based at the firm’s Bromsgrove office, she will work closely with the team, supported by partner Kirsten Bridgewater (pictured, right) on property-related cases including boundary disputes, rights of way issues, trespass, landlord and tenant disagreements, and disputes around land ownership.

Kirsten said: 'As a property litigation team we are experiencing extensive growth at present and this means our team must expand too.

'Rhiannon is one of the brightest and most talented young solicitors in the region so I am delighted she is now part of the team and already working closely with a range of our clients.

'It’s a big year for us as a team and we’ve started it in the best possible way. I look forward to working with Rhiannon in the months and years ahead.'

Rhiannon Phelps added: 'The team has a fantastic reputation across the region and is well known for dealing with complex and high-value cases. 

'Property litigation as a specialism encompasses an enormous array of matters so I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to work alongside such a brilliant and supportive team of lawyers.'

Aside from her role at mfg, Rhiannon is also the social secretary in the Worcestershire Junior Lawyers Division.

mfg Solicitors has offices in Birmingham, Kidderminster, Worcester, Bromsgrove, Ludlow and Telford.
