Swinburne Maddison LLP has announced five further appointments to its corporate and commercial team.
The Durham law firm appointed Matt Ray from the Teesside office of a national law firm with experience in M&A and corporate reorganisations. Jess Stevens has also joined, with six years of post-qualification experience in private client services focusing on lifetime planning arrangements and family trusts. Recently qualified Ashley Patterson, who has trained with the firm, will provide support to all partners in the team in transactional matters, and Niamh Wilson and Brooke Jefferson have accepted training contracts in the corporate team.
Partner and head of the corporate and commercial team, Martyn Tennant, said: “I believe the depth of resource in our corporate and commercial team now allows us to push our service offering to the next level. We are now able to field a corporate and commercial team that is comparable in size to those of any regional practice, meaning that more complex and labour-intensive engagements are firmly within the team’s capabilities.”
