Firm recruits senior consultant solicitor

Setfords Solicitors has announced that Simon Conroy has joined the firm as a senior consultant solicitor.

Simon brings over 25 years’ experience of commercial litigation. Although perhaps best known for his music and media practice, Simon has vast experience across a range of sectors and disciplines including intellectual property, defamation, fraud, corporate, partnership, professional negligence and high value divorce.

Simon trained and qualified at international law firm Nabarro Nathanson, spending another four years there before leaving to head up the litigation department at Statham Gill Davies. Simon later ran his own niche litigation firm before joining Simons Muirhead & Burton, where he spent six years as a partner.

Simon said: “Setfords provides the perfect platform for me to service my clients. The firm ticks all of the boxes for me: efficient, dynamic, innovative and always thinking outside the box. The transition has gone very smoothly and I have hit the ground running, which bodes very well indeed for the future as we look to ramp up our media and entertainment and commercial litigation practices.”
