Raworths has recruited three new hires for its private client and commercial teams—and welcomed two newly qualified solicitors.
Katie Johnston has joined the Harrogate law firm’s trusts, wills and estates team as a solicitor, with Lucy Allen also coming on board as a paralegal.
Charlotte Newman, who has completed her training contract at Raworths, has also joined the team, as a newly qualified solicitor.
Rachel Tunnicliffe, senior partner and head of private client services and trust, wills and estates at Raworths, commented: “Our approach goes beyond offering excellent technical legal skills; we actively look to recruit lawyers who can show emotional intelligence too, with the ability to build trusted long-term relationships with clients across all generations.
“Our team is often providing legal advice on very personal family issues, whether that’s helping young adults understand the responsibilities that come with inheriting family wealth or guiding older generations to decide how and when to hand over the reins.
“Communication and sensitivity are at the heart of this, and we’re thrilled to welcome Katie, Lucy, who will join Charlotte as valued members of our team and who all share this ethos and will enable us to continue to grow our client portfolio.”
Following the appointment of Heather Roberts as a legal director in the firm’s growing commercial property team last month, Katie Jaros has joined as a solicitor.
Jaros, who previously worked at Hethertons Solicitors in York, brings with her extensive knowledge of the local and regional commercial property market.
The Raworths residential property team also continues to go from strength to strength, with Tracy McKenna qualifying as a solicitor after completing her training contact at the firm.
Simon Morris, managing partner at Raworths, said: “We have ambitious growth plans across the business as we look to build on our unique position of being able to offer our clients sound legal advice across both personal and commercial issues.
“We are excited to be welcoming such great new talent to our team, as well as continuing to invest in the ongoing development and training of our people at every level.”
