Shropshire law firm announces appointment of new associate
A Shropshire law firm has announced the appointment of a new associate as part of a determined expansion drive.
Nick Kennan, formerly an Acting Lieutenant Commander with the Royal Navy logistics corps, has joined Bennett’s Legal as an employment and commercial litigation lawyer.
Nick, 39, moved from a leading firm of solicitors in north Wales and brings a wealth of experience in High Court advocacy.
Founder Paul Bennett said Nick’s appointment was an important step in growing the business and said he was looking to add more new faces later in the year.
Mr Bennett, who also runs leading recruitment agency Bennett Hawkins, said: “We are delighted that Nick has joined us and we are confident that his skills will take the firm to new heights.
“Nick will enable us to provide a dedicated litigation service as well as the ability to conduct all of our trials in-house, should we wish to.”
After studying at both Aberystwyth and Utrecht universities, Nick travelled the world during his seven-year stint with the Royal Navy. He is married with a 16-month-old son.
He said: “This is an exciting time for everyone at Bennett’s Legal and I am delighted to be a part of that.”
