New starters at law firms MSB and DTM
Two Liverpool law firms, MSB Solicitors and DTM Legal have announced the arrival of lawyers who are specialists in their fields
Law firms MSB Solicitors and DTM Legal have both unveiled new appointments.
Liverpool-based MSB has appointed Steven Davies as head of employment law, bolstering its employment department in response to increased client demand.
Steven has specialised in employment law since qualifying as a solicitor in 2009, including in his previous role at Aaron & Partners in Chester. He has also been recommended in the Legal 500 directory of leading employment lawyers.
In his new role, he will head up the employment team, which was founded in January 2018. It has since grown its presence within Merseyside and the surrounding region, following steady and organic growth with multiple client wins.
Steven acts for employers and employees and advises on the full range of employment law matters. He also conducts his own advocacy at the Employment Tribunal, and regularly conducts presentations and training sessions for his clients.
He said: ““I am delighted to have been afforded the opportunity to lead such a brilliant team at one of the leading, most respected, and best-known firms within the region. I look forward to the challenge of contributing to the development of the department.”
Commercial property specialist James Holton has joined the property litigation team and Liverpool and Chester law firm DTM Legal. James specialises in landlord and tenant disputes and has a wealth of experience in all types of property litigation.
Recognised as a “rising star” in the Legal 500, James has “substantial experience, beyond his years” and is a “commercially minded-specialist property litigator”. He joins from Butcher & Barlow Solicitors in Lancashire.
His clients include investors with large portfolios, developers, commercial landlords and tenants, landowners, agricultural landlords and tenants, management companies and individuals.
He said: “It’s a great move – DTM Legal have a large commercial property team and excellent client base. They are well-renowned in the North West and the property litigation arena and I am keen to use my skills to the full.”
