Law firm Simpson Jones has added two new members to its partnership.
The conveyancing, wills and probate specialist, which has offices in Derby and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, has appointed Paul Wareham and Paul Chapman as partners.
The pair are former Countrywide plc executives who will join forces with existing partners Joanne Jones, Deb Peck and Elly Tavener to establish opportunities for growth and development of the business.
Mr Wareham was previously managing director at Countrywide Conveyancing Services with executive responsibility for surveying, conveyancing and asset management.
Mr Chapman was managing director of sales and lettings at Countrywide plc with executive responsibility for estate agency and lettings brands, including Hamptons and John D Wood.
He was also formerly managing director at Countrywide Conveyancing Services prior to Mr Wareham’s appointment in 2016.
These new arrivals follow the recent appointment of Luke Smyth as head of wills and probate. He has more than 17 years of experience as a legal professional.
Partner and head of the Ashby office Elly Tavener said: “Following on from the recent appointment of Luke Smyth, we are very excited to be joining forces with Paul Chapman and Paul Wareham as we build on our already successful existing team and fantastic client base and look to continue the success of our business to date.
“They will bring a huge level of experience and new perspectives, broadening our ability to adapt to developing market conditions and look for new business opportunities in addition to nurturing our already existing successful team and fantastic client base.”
