Corporate & agriculture teams expand with two appointments

Midlands and East Anglia firm Roythornes Solicitors has expanded the team with the double appointment of Matt Fowler and Claire Hindmarsh.

Solicitor Matt has joined the firm’s corporate and commercial team, based in its Spalding office. He has returned to private practice after serving as sole in-house council at a private equity investment firm. Matt said: ‘This is a very exciting time to be joining Roythornes and I’m looking forward to a new challenge with such an ambitious firm. The calibre of both the clients and the team at Roythornes has been hugely impressive.’

Claire has rejoined Roythornes after almost two years with Wilkin Chapman Solicitors, having previously spent more than four years with the firm from 2013 to 2017. She works as part of the agricultural team in the Alconbury office. Claire said: ‘It is great to be back working with this very talented team who are recognised as leading industry experts.’

Vember Mortlock, managing director at Roythornes, said: ‘We are always looking for top talent, so it gives us great pleasure to welcome Matt and Claire to the business. Their specialisms and experience will prove invaluable to their respective teams and the company as a whole.

‘This is a time of real growth for us and we are currently looking for strategic recruits across all our offices. Adding both Matt and Claire to our team will really help us to meet our ambitious plans.’
