George Green has continued to grow its market leading Family team with the hire of the highly experienced Melanie Young, who joins as a Legal Executive.

Mel has spent many years advising clients on a wide range of family issues, from the beginning of a relationship, preparing Cohabitation Agreements and Pre-Nuptial Agreements and also when relationships break down, advising on Separation, Divorce/ Dissolution and negotiating to resolve finances and matters relating to children. Where matters cannot be resolved by agreement, she represent clients through the Court process.

Mel, who joins us from Waldrons, will work alongside George Green‘s massively experienced stalwart Jane Williams and Richard Port in the Firm’s Cradley Heath office. Richard, recently made up to Partner, joined the team from Higgs just over a year ago.

Mel commented; “Having worked for many years in local law firms I have constantly been impressed with George Green’s excellent reputation and consistent high standard of work. The focus on supporting and understanding clients meshed so closely to my own that when an opportunity to join the Family Team arose, I was delighted to accept.”              

Mark Vandaele, George Green’s Head of Family, said “Mel’s reputation for taking care of clients and getting them to where they want to get to proceeds her. I am delighted she has chosen to join the team as it continues to grow from strength to strength. The team remains committed to making a real difference in the lives of our many Family law clients. That’s why we do what we do –how we go about it is what sets us apart; to us delivering an excellent client experience is everything.”

Chief Executive David Stevenson added “If we are to deliver on our mission of making a difference and  helping our clients gain a competitive edge, then we need the best of the best on the team and we are fortunate in this respect to have attracted to the firm someone of Mel’s calibre. Welcome aboard Melanie – we are lucky to have you!”
