Leading North Yorkshire law firm McCormicks Solicitors has made two senior promotions. Brian Nuttney, part of the Crime and Fraud team at the practice, becomes a Partner.
Brian specialises in all aspects of Crime. Before joining the firm he was a successful journalist and worked as deputy editor for a number of regional newspapers. He qualified as a solicitor in 2018 and has become a mainstay of the department, appearing regularly in the Magistrates’ Courts and at police stations across North Yorkshire and further afield, representing clients across a wide range of criminal offences, including serious sexual offences, violence, drugs, fraud, and motoring offences.
He is a qualified police station representative and holds Duty Solicitor status.
Partner Peter Minnikin who heads the Crime Department said: “Brian’s diligence and analytical approach have proved a real asset to the department and he has wide-ranging expertise, both in representing clients himself and in preparing cases for the higher courts.”
David Leuchars has been made a Senior Associate Solicitor.
David plays a key role in the Corporate and Commercial Department, acting for individuals and companies on corporate transactions for the sale or purchase of businesses or shares; reviewing and advising on company and business structure including drafting partnership and shareholders’ agreements and articles of association. He assists with incorporations, re-structuring and general company administration; negotiating and reviewing a wide range of commercial contracts, including agency and sub-contractor agreements; and updating terms and conditions and privacy policies.
He won recognition in the latest edition of the UK Legal 500, a leading guide to the legal profession.
The Head of Corporate and Commercial, Partner James Towler, said: “David works extremely hard to understand the needs of our clients and to ensure the best possible outcomes for them. His promotion recognises his value to both the practice and our clients.”
