Litigation specialist Jessica Parry and trust and estates lawyer Amanda Bailey join Liverpool law firm Brabners as new partners

Liverpool law firm Brabners has appointed two new partners – litigation specialist Jessica Parry and trust and estates lawyer Amanda Bailey.

The two appointments follow a period of investment across the firm, which has seen it named in the ‘UK 100 Best Companies to Work For’ list for the second consecutive year and also ranked by Best Companies as the 3rd best law firm to work for in the UK.

Ms Parry joins from the Manchester office of international firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, having previously spent five years in London with Charles Russell Speechlys. She brings more than 12 years’ experience of working on contentious property matters.

Joining from DTM Legal where she was head of the trust and estates team, Ms Bailey is recognised by the Legal 500 as a ‘Next Generation Partner’ and was one of four lawyers shortlisted internationally for the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners Trusted Advisor of the Year Award. 

Nik White, managing partner at Brabners, said: “The pandemic and Brexit have created a range of new challenges for clients across both our commercial and private client practices – be they related to matters such as high street rent arrears or the management of family estates.

“All such evolving issues require specialist support, which is why we’ve moved to further strengthen our offering across the board. In Jessica and Amanda, we are adding two exceptional and highly regarded lawyers to an increasingly diverse partnership which is committed to making the difference and helping our clients to achieve their ambitions.”
