New East Midlands law firm launched
A new East Midlands legal practice has been formed by two local solicitors.
Azam M Z Zia, latterly of BRM Solicitors and Chattertons, and Shamiza S Zia, who spent seven years at the Family Law Group until 2018, have formed Zia Harman Solicitors.
Based in Regent Street, Nottingham, the firm is also opening a Lincoln office shortly, with plans to expand into London within the next six months.
Head of corporate and commercial Azam M. Z. Zia, said: “We have set up a brand-new firm to offer clients real support for their commercial and corporate legal solutions. Essentially, we specialise in all aspects of business law, company set-up, buy-outs, sales. We also look after our client’s contracts with their customers and suppliers as well as business-to-business contracts.”
Zia Harman Solicitors will also be offering a client portal, meaning 24-hour access to a system where documents, legal questions and advice can be requested securely.
Azam added: “With our portal, we wanted to provide what our customers need, a way to contact us and get answers quickly. The frustration of two-week turnarounds for simple processes or enquiries is gone; this is a new way of doing legal business.
“Our clients are our friends first. We believe in their integrity; we believe in their vision. It’s our job to help them achieve their dreams. It’s our job to protect them.
“Whether you’re thinking about starting a business, or you are considering your exit strategy: merger, sale, acquisition or succession – get in touch with us, and we will help you achieve your vision.”
Managing director at Featured Group and first client of the firm, Peter Watson, said: “This is welcome news, we’ve always used Azam’s services in the past and we’re excited to be working with him as he breaks away to create a reactive, innovative practice of his own. An experienced and personable professional, Azam offers a level of service you’re unlikely to experience elsewhere. We’re excited to see how quickly Zia Harman grows.”
