On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Geldards has expanded its family law team with the appointment of Ben Lawson as an associate solicitor.

Lawson joins Geldards from Flint Bishop. He specialises in the resolution of financial matters for medium to high net worth individuals and resolving disputes in relation to the children of the family.

Fiona Apthorpe, family law partner and head of Geldards’ family team, said: “Ben’s excellent reputation, both locally and beyond, makes him a valuable addition to Geldards.

“The family law market remains increasingly competitive and our clients expect a comprehensive level of service. Adding Ben’s experience considerably boosts the strength of our team and enables the firm to continue to deliver innovative and cost effective legal solutions to our wide range of clients.”

Nottingham-based digital marketing agency Hallam has promoted Jonathan Ellins to senior digital marketing consultant.

Ellins said: “I’m very pleased to be promoted to a senior level. It reflects my extensive experience in digital marketing, consistent results I’ve secured for our clients and my willingness to try new marketing techniques and to share them with the team.

“I am particularly pleased with the the advanced paid advertising techniques that I have been developing recently. I have used AdWords scripting and scientific analysis of data to squeeze every penny out of paid advertising and get the best results possible.”
