National law firm Excello Law has opened a new office in Staffordshire – taking its portfolio of sites to 10.
The company's latest branch in Windsor Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme, adds to its other sites in London, Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester, Liverpool, Chester and Leeds, and forms part of the Excello's plans for expansion.
The office opening follows a recruitment drive which bolstered Excello's Staffordshire team to seven including new joiner Dermot Callinan and two support staff, including insolvency specialist Diane Dunion who has recently joined to support commercial litigation partner Richard Preston.
The range of expertise now available across the team working out of Newcastle includes advising on employment, corporate and commercial, litigation, dispute resolution, insolvency and real estate legal services.
