Property law firm Abacus Solicitors has appointed another senior solicitor to its team following strong growth in commercial property work

A growing workload from within its existing client base has prompted further growth at Warrington property law firm Abacus Solicitors.

The Stockton Heath firm, which also has an office on King Street in Manchester, has recruited Scott Tams as a senior solicitor within its commercial property team after a record year in 2021.

During the 12-month period Abacus advised on more than £300m of property transactions. The firm’s headcount now stands at 26. Managing partner Geoff Underhill said: “Property is a long game and our clients have held their nerve throughout the pandemic and pushed on with their investment.

“Scott’s arrival will give us the additional resource we need to support our clients as they continue to invest and develop.  This is our 16th year in business and we expect further growth based on the workload before us.”

Mr Tams joins the firm from his role as partner at SAS Daniels. Other key clients on the firm’s roster include Challenger Building Services, Elan Homes and Osborne and Co.
