Burnetts Solicitors expands agri and estates team

Newcastle-based law firm Burnetts Solicitors LLP has strengthened its agri and estates offering with the appointment of three new team members.

Peter Durham, Brooke March and Frankie Bake have joined Burnetts’ agri and estates team following the closure of Samuel Phillips Law, bringing significant sector experience to one of the largest dedicated teams of its kind in the UK.

Peter joins the firm as a senior associate, Brooke as a solicitor, and Frankie as a legal assistant. 

All three will be based at Burnetts’ Citygate office and will work closely with the firm’s co-heads of agri and estates, Mike Nicholls and Maria Wright.

Their appointments further enhance Burnetts Solicitors’ highly regarded agri and estates practice, which is consistently ranked in the top tier of the Legal 500 and advises farmers, estate owners, agribusinesses and rural clients across the region.

Mike and Maria said: “We’re really excited about this significant growth to our agri and estates team in Newcastle. 

“Peter, Brooke and Frankie each bring with them invaluable experience and will further strengthen our agri and estates offering for our Newcastle clients.”
