Experienced litigator Keith Hague and solicitor Natalie Gibson have joined Sheffield’s MD Law as the firm continues its further expansion.
The niche firm, which acts for and advises insolvency professionals, businesses and individuals across the country, has recruited Hague into its commercial litigation team to work with dispute resolution partners Matt Dixon, Neil Kelly, and Kelly Wharin.
Also joining the 16-strong team is Gibson, who previously gained work experience as a legal assistant in a union law firm, in addition to completing her training contract at a professional services firm in Sheffield.
Former MD Law trainee Josh Stilgoe has also now qualified as a solicitor and joined the firm’s insolvency team, working on all aspects of insolvency and litigation, while University of Sheffield international relations and politics graduate Cristina Martinez has started a training contract at the Broomhall-based firm.
Hague, whose 20 years of legal expertise in litigation includes shareholder/director disputes, partnerships disputes and professional negligence claims, said: “MD Law brings a practical and commercial approach to the resolution of disputes for businesses and individuals. I am looking forward to helping an increasing number of clients navigate a path to a successful outcome.
He continued: “I chose MD Law because of its excellent reputation and links with regional and national businesses, and I look forward to contributing towards the further growth of the firm.”
Dixon said: “Our expanding firm needed strong, mid-tier, commercial litigation experience as we see an upward move towards decent value, interesting and involved cases in this area.
“We are now a team of 16 and our commercial clients often have other legal needs, so to strengthen the team means we can continue to provide our reputable legal services at a high professional level.”
