Joining the 320-strong firm as one of three new partners is Tim Coolican, previously of Slater and Gordon Lawyers, where he specialised in criminal and regulatory law.

He is a board member of the West Midlands branch of Resolution, a collective of family lawyers committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes.
The final new recruit is Ian Snaith who has been hired by the firm from DWF as a social business consultant and will be supporting co-operatives, social enterprises and other not-for-profit organisations.
