Wilkin Chapman Rollits expands senior leadership team

Lincolnshire and Yorkshire-based law firm Wilkin Chapman Rollits has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointment of three new partners.

Commercial litigator Dean Hill has joined the firm’s dispute resolution team as a partner in York. 

He arrives from Ramsdens Solicitors and brings more than 20 years of experience in commercial disputes, risk management and litigation strategy.

Dean said: “Wilkin Chapman Rollits has an excellent reputation across the region, and the combination of deep local relationships and the capability to handle complex, high value work aligns perfectly with the type of practice I’ve built over the past two decades.

“The firm also places real value on developing people, and I’m excited to mentor junior lawyers and help strengthen the next generation of disputes specialists.”

The firm has also promoted Stephen Watson and Katie Jacques to partner in its Grimsby and Lincoln offices, respectively. 

Stephen specialises in residential property matters, while Katie advises clients on real estate projects, including developments across the energy and renewables sector.

Stephen added: “I am honoured to be promoted to partner at Wilkin Chapman Rollits at this exciting time for the firm. 

“I look forward to continuing to help our clients complete their residential property sales, purchases and remortgages.”

Katie added: “I am delighted to have been promoted to partner. 

“Since joining the firm, I have had the privilege to work alongside talented colleagues and advise on a wide range of clients on substantial real estate matters. 

“As partner, I look forward to continuing to support our clients and help drive the firm’s growth.”

The appointments form part of Wilkin Chapman Rollits’ ongoing investment in its legal teams and regional presence. 

The firm has also recently recruited two senior associates as it continues to grow across its offices in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
