On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Browne Jacobson has appointed a new partner at its Nottingham office.

Disputes resolution specialist Daniel Edwards joins the law firm’s inheritance and trust dispute practice and the private client team in Nottingham.

He was previously a senior associate at Knights.

Lucy Worwood, head of private client, said: “Daniel’s inheritance and trust dispute experience perfectly complements the needs of our clients. We continue to see an increase in these types of disputes and so Daniel’s addition to the team couldn’t have come at a better time.”

Edwards said: “Browne Jacobson’s strong private wealth credentials and ambitious growth strategy means it’s a very exciting time to be joining the firm. I am looking forward to assisting the firm in building its inheritance and trust dispute offering further which already has a very strong reputation in the marketplace.”

Elsewhere, Derby-based project management and surveying business Armsons Barlow has appointed a new associate director.
