Law firm George Green LLP expands its Employment Law team with strategic partner hire.

George Green LLP has announced the appointment of Beverley Smith as a Partner in its Employment Law team.

Beverley is an experienced Employment and Business Immigration Solicitor with a proven track record of providing solutions driven and practical advice. She will work with Tim Lang who is the firm’s Head of Employment.

Tim Lang said “We are delighted to welcome Beverley to the team. We are experiencing a boom in employment work due to an influx of new clients, the recent significant increase in tribunal claims and gig economy issues. Beverley’s appointment gives us real strength in depth and she brings with her very useful business immigration skills which will be of great benefit to George Green clients post Brexit“.

Mr Lang continued “Beverley’s appointment comes at a time when the team and the firm as a whole is going from strength to strength. This hire continues our strategy of recruiting high quality senior lawyers. We believe that experience counts and that this resonates with buyers of legal services. Our business model is such that, unlike others, we are able to staff most client matters with senior lawyers which is why we are winning and doing more and more work“.

Beverley Smith commented “I am thrilled to be joining George Green which has a strong reputation in the market place for delivering on what clients want by first taking the time to listen to their issues. This approach dovetails with my own and my experience working in industry before becoming a lawyer. This has equipped me with the ability to wear the clients shoes and apply my legal knowledge in a way that makes a real difference in helping them succeed”.

David Stevenson, Chief Executive of George Green, said “This appointment comes at a time of recent sustained and continuing expansion for us. As a business we have achieved growth in turnover of over 28% in the last three complete financial years, whilst at the half way point in the current financial period, we were 9% ahead of the previous year”.

George Green LLP is a leading full service law firm and recognised as such in both Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners. We have offices in Cradley Heath and Wolverhampton and at the 2018 Black Country and Wolverhampton Law society Awards received the Professional Services Firm of the Year award.
