Gateley launches new service with fresh hire

The Nottingham office of law firm Gateley has appointed legal director Lesley Brentnall to head up its new residential conveyancing offering.

Brentnall has more than 25 years’ experience in residential property law and was previously head of transactional at Nottingham-based firm, Brady Solicitors. Prior to this she worked for Shakespeare Martineau and Eversheds, both in the East Midlands.

The new offering will be managed by Brentnall from Gateley’s Nottingham office.

Andy Matthews, real estate partner and head of Gateley’s Nottingham office said: “I am delighted to welcome Lesley to Gateley. Her experience in property is invaluable and her appointment will see us expand our offering throughout the region, as well as nationally.”

Brentnall added: “This service complements the other areas of property that Gateley specialises in and will enable the business to work as an integrated team. Gateley is a collaborative business and is well-regarded in the East Midlands professional services community and I look forward to developing the residential conveyancing offering over the coming months.”
