A boutique law firm of exceptional quality and talent where clients' and lawyers' interests are aligned by collaboration and innovation
Award-winning Bexley Beaumont has taken another sizeable step forward with the arrival of three new lawyers.
Chris Morris has become the firm's latest Real Estate partner, while Jill Chamberlain has been added to its Corporate and Commercial team, also as partner.
Meanwhile, Katie Boardman has joined Bexley Beaumont's London office as an Associate from Shoosmiths.
Chief Executive Karen Bexley has described how the latest appointments would serve to reinforce the firm's reputation for excellence.
She added that appointing Ms Boardman marked another important milestone in Bexley Beaumont's development.
"Everyone who has joined us has made a telling contribution in driving the firm forward and Chris, Jill and Katie won't be any different.
"They are all immensely capable and bring with them experience of working within other leading law firms.
"Whereas both Chris and Jill have considerable experience, Katie has joined at a much earlier stage of her career.
"She has decided to so because of the calibre of lawyers who we have within the firm and the quality of work which we're handling.
"In addition, she recognises that we offer an opportunity to have more control and flexibility when it comes to developing a legal practice.
"Her arrival marks another phase of Bexley Beaumont's evolution. It was our intention to attract very talented lawyers like Katie who want to work with great clients while enjoying the support of senior colleagues who are genuinely acknowledged as experts in their respective fields.
"That helps build very effective specialist teams and reinforces the tremendous strength in depth which has already been instrumental in growing our caseload."
Bexley Beaumont's distinct approach is one reason why it was last month named as one of the top 10 Alternative Law Firms (ALFs) by the legal research consultancy, Codex Edge.
The Codex research covered more than 2,200 ALFs across the UK and examined the impact generated by ALFs in the decade since the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) first licensed Alternative Business Structures (ABSs).
The arrival of Mr Morris and Ms Boardman adds to the firm's formidable Real Estate team, which has trebled in size - from four to 13 lawyers - within the space of just over two years.
Mr Morris has a vast amount of experience in working with commercial developers and major corporate landlords as well as the management of large portfolio estates and landed estates.
Katie's caseload has involved advising landlord, tenants, property companies and financial institutions, including a number of household name retail brands and one of the UK’s largest property investment companies acting on several acquisitions and disposals.
Mrs Chamberlain is a vastly experienced commercial lawyer specialising in commercial and compliance services.
A former law lecturer, she has also amassed substantial experience working as legal counsel to companies in the telecommunications, manufacturing, financial services and distribution industries.
The latest appointments mean that Bexley Beaumont now boasts 36 lawyers and, in addition to its offices in the City of London, maintains premises in the heart of Manchester's business district.
It also follows Ms Bexley's election to the Law Society's ruling Council, which is described as the "collective voice" of the legal profession in England and Wales.
