Vision is clear at Punch Robson
9:37am Tuesday 8th July 2008
TEES Valley law firm Punch Robson has announced a major development of its commercial law department.
Solicitors Stephen Haigh and Katherine Eaton have been made associates of the Middlesbroughbased practice.
The commercial team has been increased with the appointments of solicitor Victoria Short, a civil litigator with a special interest in employment law, and Carol Forbes as a solicitor from early September.
The news comes just a few months after Punch Robson significantly increased the size of its commercial law operations through the acquisition of Teesside-based business law specialists Spooner and Co.
"The acquisition of Spooner and Co, and now the promotions of Stephen and Katherine, and additions of Victoria and Carol to the commercial team, are clear indications of our vision to strengthen our commercial work both in terms of scale and the scope and depth of expertise,"
said managing partner Alan Mottram.
Punch Robson, which has offices in Middlesbrough, Coulby Newham and Ingleby Barwick, employs 73 people.
Its turnover last year was more than £2.5m.
