mfg Solicitors—Tia Bickley

Family law expert appointed in Telford office

Law firm mfg Solicitors has strengthened its family department in Shropshire with the appointment of solicitor Tia Bickley. Based at the firm’s Telford office, Tia will also support clients at the Ludlow office, as the team responds to increasing demand for specialist family law advice.

With five years’ experience, Tia (pictured front centre, with the family team) brings expertise in complex divorce cases, financial settlements, children matters, and pre and post-nuptial agreements. She joins partner Beth Tutchener-Ellis in Telford, who said: ‘Tia joins us at a time when we are dealing with more family matters than ever, so it’s vital that we have the strongest and most experienced team possible.’

Beth added that Tia has ‘fitted in superbly’ and is already ‘making an impact with our clients’, noting her contribution to what has been a ‘hugely busy but successful year’. Tia said she was excited to join a team that is ‘well known locally and regionally’ and looks forward to ‘supporting our clients more’ through challenging personal situations.

The appointment comes as mfg’s 14-strong family department continues to grow, with rising enquiries from across Shropshire and beyond. The team has been highly ranked in the Legal 500 for over a decade, advising on all aspects of family law including cohabitation, injunctions, and financial matters related to divorce.
