West Midlands law firm Enoch Evans LLP has announced the addition of Kelly Pledger as a solicitor in its Commercial Litigation team and Laura Phillips as a solicitor within the firm’s Residential Conveyancing department.
Having previously trained at a Legal 500 recognised law firm, Kelly practised as a litigation officer at a housing trust. Kelly specialised in issuing claims for possession against tenants and defending housing disrepair claims, as well as experiencing a broad range of litigation within the trust.
Kelly said: “Enoch Evans LLP has a very long, respected history in Walsall and is known for offering a fully personalised service to its clients. I strongly believe that law firms based outside of large cities such as Birmingham are best placed to understand and serve their clients, being physically located next to many businesses and communities.
“Wanting to continue to practise in commercial litigation, Enoch Evans LLP offered me the opportunity to work within a well-established team, recognised by the Legal 500, and one that is constantly growing due to its continued success.”
In 2019, a raft of new appointments bolstered the services offered by the firm and added new skills to the family and commercial property department teams, as well as the civil litigation department. Plus, long-standing wills, tax and probate solicitor Reiss Matthews was promoted to partner, becoming one of the youngest in the firm to gain such a senior title.
Laura has over six-years of experience in residential conveyancing and has worked on cases ranging from quiet rural properties to new-build developments.
Laura commented: “One of my ambitions at Enoch Evans LLP is to continue expanding my skills set, I am also looking forward to getting involved in conveyancing matters on all levels. Properties are major investments and it can be, at times, a stressful process. My role is to assist people during these times and help them to achieve the result they want.
David Evans, managing director of Enoch Evans LLP, added: “These two new appointments are an example of the firm’s continual growth and commitment to providing the highest-quality service. Both Kelly and Laura arrive at Enoch Evans LLP with well-defined skillsets and the abilities to provide different perspectives to their respective departments, which are essential in meeting the ever-changing needs of our client base.”
Enoch Evans has its head office in Walsall in addition to a branch in Sutton Coldfield which was opened in late 2019. The 130-year old firm has grown to over 90 staff and is listed in the Legal 500 which ranks the world’s best practices.
