Trio of promotions announced at law firm mfg Solicitors

Midlands law firm mfg Solicitors has announced three internal promotions at senior associate and associate level.

In the firm’s widely respected private client department, experienced wills, assets and estate planning expert Melinda Rice, is promoted to a senior associate position. Meanwhile, the law firm has also announced that tax and trusts specialist David Insull has also been promoted into a senior associate role.

Completing the trio of promotions is commercial property expert Laura Moore who becomes an associate and will continue to work on a variety of property-related development, investment and acquisition matters across the public and private sectors.

Andrew Davies, partner and managing director of mfg Solicitors said: 'Both Melinda and David have played key roles in the continued expansion of our Private Client department, which is rightly seen as one of the leading and largest teams in the region.

'Their promotions are well-deserved and they both carry exceptional reputations with our clients for providing clear and concise advice.

'Laura meanwhile is regarded as one of our rising stars and she has provided expert commercial property advice to hundreds of clients across the country. Laura’s promotion highlights the kind of talent we have coming through across various departments and she is already thriving in her new role.”

Melinda Rice is based at the firm’s Telford offices, whilst David Insull and Laura Moore are based at mfg’s Adam House headquarters in Kidderminster.

With offices across Worcestershire, Shropshire and in central Birmingham, mfg Solicitors advise on a range of commercial and private matters.
