Midlands firm Roythornes Solicitors has announced the arrival of
food and drink expert Hannah Leese in its Nottingham office.
Hannah, who joins the firm’s litigation team in associate
capacity, previously spent three years with SAS Daniels LLP, and has also
worked with Mills & Reeve, and DWF. She specialises in food and drink regulatory
law, with particular expertise in the meat industry.
Hannah commented: ‘I’m delighted to join the Roythornes team as
the practice is renowned for its expert agriculture and food and drink teams—two
areas I work very closely in. My working history is firmly rooted in food and
drink litigation, specialising in food regulatory law. This includes appealing
over-zealous enforcement action, defending criminal prosecutions in the
Magistrates’ and Crown Court, reviewing and advising food businesses on
operational procedure and much more.
‘I’m therefore looking forward to working with the various teams
to help and support existing clients and also bring some historic cases with
me.’
Managing director Vember Mortlock added: ‘We’re delighted to
welcome Hannah to the team. Our staff are our most valuable asset and I firmly
believe in attracting top talent and providing a supportive and equal environment
for them to thrive. With that in mind, Hannah will be focusing on existing
cases with long-standing clients for a few months before going on maternity
leave. She is already having a positive impact on our team and the service we
offer, so we look forward to her future with us.’
