Introducing our new Corporate Partner

We are very pleased to say that we’re continuing our expansion in Cumbria and into Lancashire with the appointment of leading Corporate Partner, Jennifer Bell.

Jennifer joins us from her previous role as Corporate Partner at Knights Plc (formerly Baines Wilson LLP) and has over 15 years of experience advising clients on all aspects of corporate and commercial law.

Her appointment is part of the ongoing growth strategy of our Corporate team, as it expands its services for businesses, intermediaries and the wider investment community in Cumbria, Lancashire and across the North.

Jennifer said:

“I am very excited to be part of a firm that has a fantastic culture together with an excellent reputation for the quality of its corporate and commercial service offering. Burnetts’ Corporate team prides itself on building longstanding relationships, being a trusted advisor and becoming a commercial sounding board for its clients. I am looking forward to working with Michael and the team and helping to build on their success.”

Michael Walby, our Head of Corporate, said:

“We are delighted to have Jennifer on board. I know from working opposite her on transactions that she is a high calibre corporate lawyer, and importantly, she knows how to get deals done. She will be pivotal in developing our corporate offering further across Cumbria and Lancashire, during what is an exciting period of growth for Burnetts.”
