Former MP returns to commercial property team

Thompson Smith & Puxon (TSP) has announced the return of Will Quince to its commercial property team. Will, who was last with the firm in 2015 before pursuing a career in public office, re-joins TSP to bring his legal and commercial expertise to the team.

Will has been a well-known figure in the region, having served as the MP for Colchester until May 2024. His political career featured key positions, including minister of state at the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department for Education.

Stephen Firmin, head of commercial property, said: ‘Will’s return to TSP is a testament to his long-standing commitment to the region and the firm. His knowledge and experience will add value to our team and contribute to our ongoing efforts to expand the commercial property and real estate side of the business.’

Commenting on his return, Will said: ‘Returning to Thompson Smith & Puxon feels like coming home. I’m excited to engage with the local business community and share my knowledge with TSP’s property team. I look forward to applying my experience in Parliament and government in a legal and commercial context to support clients and the firm’s growth.’

CEO of TSP Sean Stuttaford added: ‘Will’s return is an exciting step for the firm. His prior legal knowledge, combined with his commercial acumen, strengthens our team. Will’s strong regional and national connections will help us continue delivering excellent added value legal services to our clients, and we are delighted to have him back as part of our future growth strategy.’
