New addition to firm’s agriculture team

Midlands firm mfg Solicitors has welcomed Sophie Dwerryhouse to its agricultural team.

Sophie (pictured, second from left) has been with the firm for five years, which she has spent working in its commercial property division. She now joins the firm’s ten-strong agricultural team working alongside partner Susan Morrissy (centre left) in advising the firm’s rural clients, including farmers, landowners, and food and drink producers, on a range of agricultural matters.

Sophie said: ‘It’s a wonderful opportunity at this stage of my career to work closely with Susan and in such a high profile and admired team. I know the farming industry well and hope that will help as we expand our services to more rural clients in the months and years ahead.’

Iain Morrison (left), the head of the agricultural and rural affairs team, added: Sophie is highly across the rural business community and her appointment adds another dimension to a hugely specialist team.

‘Sophie’s experience over the past five years within our commercial property team has helped her development greatly and she is already proving to be a brilliant addition.

‘Working alongside Susan, Sophie will play a key role in helping to grow and develop our offering to farmers, landowners and rural businesses across the region.’
