Tim Higham joins the partnership from Trethowans and brings a wealth of experience in conveyancing, sales, purchases, mortgages, and rights over land. Tim is a champion for conveyancing, regularly taking to social media, and played a “pivotal role in growing Trethowans’ conveyancing operation.”
Senior Associate Jane Lynch joins the firm’s Wills, Trusts and Probate team from Reading firm Parfitt Cresswell. Jane is an experienced private client solicitor with extensive expertise in advising high-net-worth individuals and complex family dynamics on their wills, trusts and probate needs.
Newly appointed Marketing Manager Rachel Hadfield has a background in professional services marketing and PR, having most recently held the position of Head of Marketing, South at Azets. With over 15 years of experience, Rachel deeply understands the South region and its market.
The three new hires are the latest additions to the Steele Raymond team, joining high-profile recruits in Residential Development (Paul Hinett and Emma Pope, associate Henry Barker and solicitor Minaz-Parol Rahman) making Steele Raymond’s Residential Development team the largest in the South.
