\u201cHaving qualified as a lawyer five years ago, I\u2019m ready to step things up yet another gear and extend my own client base and case load by offering commercial advice and assistance to business clients in that very supportive way typical of James legal and its \u2018fresh approach\u2019,\u201d said Byron.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really love the ethos and morals of James Legal, and its vibrant team of \u2018real\u2019 people. I share its commitment to doing the very best by its clients and offering more than just legal advice, but real world, common sense business assistance.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving chance to be part of that and support the next part of the firm\u2019s evolution is fantastic for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
James Legal, which was first established in 2009, has recently expanded into a second office in Lairgate, in Beverley, with plans to widen its reach across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, and expand its workforce by a quarter over the next two years.<\/p>\n
Managing Director Nick Miller said: \u201cTaking on talented, driven lawyers like Byron, who focus on our clients\u2019 needs, and giving them a chance to shine and be all they can be, is what we\u2019re all about at James Legal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are very exciting times for our firm and Byron has all the qualities we look for in members of our team \u2013 drive, commitment, down-to-earth likability and \u2013 above all \u2013 a sense of humour. I look forward to him becoming a real asset and bringing considerable value to our team and clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
Byron specialises in corporate\/commercial law \u2013 what this really means is anything a business might need but it includes such things as company disposals and acquisitions, company procedures, share rights and shareholder arrangements, as well as assisting business start-ups and forming new companies. Byron also has employment law expertise, including contracts and dispute resolution.<\/p>\n
James Legal\u2019s founding ethos is based on taking a fresh approach to law and being \u2018people first and lawyers second\u2019. Nick is passionate about this cause, and the firm\u2019s mission is to help change some of the less positive perceptions some have of the traditional legal industry. He believes it is these beliefs that have contributed to its success.<\/p>\n
