Banking solicitor joins firm’s Southampton team
Law firm Shakespeare Martineau has expanded its team in Southampton with the appointment of banking and finance solicitor Lauren Green.
Lauren has joined the firm following more than four years at Blake Morgan. She has experience assisting banks and borrowers with securing lending, acquisition finance, debt finance, development finance and debt restructuring in the SME and mid-market space.
Lauren, who will be servicing a national client base, said: ‘I am thrilled to join Shakespeare Martineau’s banking team in Southampton, especially during this exciting period of growth into the Central South market, led by James Hawkeswood.
‘I am eager to contribute to our mission to make a difference in the Central South and the Solent Freeport, and I am committed to making a positive impact on my team and being a dependable point of contact for clients.
‘The adrenaline rush of deal completion and the challenge of complex transactions are aspects of the job I genuinely love, and I look forward to bringing that enthusiasm to my work here.'
In April, Shakespeare Martineau secured office space at the University of Southampton Science Park and started its expansion into the Central South market with the appointment of corporate partner James Hawkeswood, commercial litigator Paula Swain, banking and finance partner Jake Holmes, and debt and asset recovery team supervisor Ray Welsby.
James said: “We are delighted to welcome Lauren to our team in Southampton. Lauren’s impressive background and dedication to her professional growth make her a perfect fit for us. Her enthusiasm for making a positive impact aligns seamlessly with our mission as we continue to expand in the Central South. We look forward to seeing her thrive and contribute to our ongoing success and growth.”
