Alistair said: 'The opportunity to work with experts across the firm to find the best solutions to clients’ needs attracted me to work here, along with the friendliness and enthusiasm of colleagues.'

Katie Wright will work in the thriving agricultural law department alongside farmers and landowners involved in diversification of which she has significant experience.
