Stephensons Solicitors LLP has enhanced two of its key practice areas with the appointment of solicitors Alex O’Connell and Daniel Kinnear.
Corporate lawyer Alex O’Connell joins the Wigan office from Manchester’s Brabners Chaffe Street LLP. Alex, 26, from Leyland, said: “Stephensons is very much a client-focussed firm and this position will give me the opportunity to be a key member of an experienced and expanding corporate team.”
Newly-qualified solicitor Daniel Kinnear has meanwhile boosted the Clinical Negligence department in Leigh, after completing his training contract with the Dental Law Partnership in Nantwich.
The 24-year-old said: “Stephensons has an enviable reputation as one of the leading Clinical Negligence law firms in the country and I’m part of a large team dedicated to recovering losses for our clients, against private practitioners and NHS Trusts and general practitioners amongst others.”
Stephensons is one of the regions’ largest and fastest growing law practices, with over 25 partners and more than 400 employees across a network of offices in Manchester, Wigan, Leigh, Bolton and St Helens.
Stephensons Managing Partner, Ann Harrison, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Alex and Daniel, two rising stars, to our Corporate and Clinical Negligence teams. Lateral hire will continue to have a key part to play in our strategy to grow the practice in 2008, as we aim to strengthen our position as one of the region’s top five law firms.”
