Bell Lamb & Joynson Solicitors Welcome Five New Recruits To Mark New Business Year

North West legal firm Bell Lamb & Joynson solicitors has recently welcomed five new recruits in line with the start of its new business year.

The award-winning solicitors created a number of new roles to support growing business, which has seen the team enjoy a 5% increase in turnover in the last 12 months despite the ongoing situation with Covid-19.

With locations in Liverpool, Warrington and Runcorn, the team now includes 50 members of staff across departments such as conveyancing, family law and criminal law to name a few. As part of the recent recruitment drive, the firm will also add to its development strategy with new dedicated roles to manage business and client relationships.

Managing Partner at Bell Lamb & Joynson Solicitors Mike Leeman said: “As we entered our new business and financial year in July, we also welcomed a number of new recruits to the firm, adding to our workforce across our three North West office locations. We feel incredibly fortunate that we’re in a position to expand and futureproof our business for the year ahead and beyond.

“As well as hiring in our conveyancing department, which has been exceptionally busy throughout recent months, and our finance team, we’ve also prioritised business development going forward and have built an entirely new team to focus on this aspect. As we near our 200th year anniversary in 2021, it’s important to us to continue to build on the momentum that we’ve initiated over recent years and continue to make a name for ourselves across England and Wales as a leading, reputable law firm and business relationships are integral to that.”

Bell Lamb and Joynson Solicitors has welcomed Lawrence Dunne as a Conveyancing Assistant and Jenny Randell as a Conveyancing Fee Earner, alongside Accounts Cashier Tim Cousins.

The newly established business development team will be headed up by Relationships Manager Joe Holmes who will be working alongside Client Relationship Executive Kate Mansfield as well as existing members of staff.

Mike added: “We pride ourselves on our modern ways of working that have been designed to benefit both our customers and our staff with the use of technology to simplify old processes and communication methods. We’ve been working tirelessly over the last three years to reinvent ourselves, including a rebrand and a shift towards paperless working.

“I think it’s a testament to our reputation and our dedication and passion for what we do that we’ve been able to thrive during these difficult and uncertain times and are in a position to be able to recruit due to growing services and customer demand. Having these new additions will allow us to better utilise the resources that we have to continue this upwards trend as we hit a milestone year for business in 2021. In my opinion, investment into your people and offering a competitive environment in which they can progress personally and professionally all impacts the overall success of your business, which is why we will continue to prioritise this as a firm.”
