Laura Barnfield joins as a partner in our Commercial Property department and joins the eight lawyer strong commercial property team.

Laura qualified in 2004, spending the first 4 years of qualification at international law firm DLA Piper UK LLP and the last 6 years at the Manchester office of Pinsent Masons LLP.

Laura is the eighth lawyer to join this year with more to come.

Managing Partner John Wilson comments:

“We are delighted to have recruited another top quality lawyer and individual to our team. The calibre of lawyers we are recruiting is clear evidence that there is simply no need for local business to go to Newcastle, Manchester or London etc. for their commercial legal advice.”

Commercial Property Partner and Head of Department, Sean Logue added:

“Laura brings a top quality skill set and some excellent experience in redevelopment and regeneration projects. We’re sure she will be a great addition and asset to our existing team and our clients as well as the wider business community”.
