Nottingham law firm establishes new family law team

Actons, an independent law firm in Nottingham, has recently established a new family law team by appointing two family lawyers.

Julie McCrery has been appointed as the head of family law at Actons, alongside associate Sophie Spreckley.

Both McCrery and Spreckley bring with them experience in family law, having previously worked at Knights and Fraser Brown.

As members of Resolution, an organisation dedicated to resolving family disputes in a constructive manner that considers the entire family’s needs, their services cover a wide range of issues, including financial, property, and children-related matters for both married and unmarried couples.

Simon Dakin, chairman at Actons, said: “The appointment of Julie and Sophie is a real coup for Actons. It marks an exciting milestone as we further strengthen our ability to provide clients with high-quality Family Law advice following the recent retirement of Mike Spencer.

I’m delighted to welcome them both and look forward to seeing them continue to develop a strong Family Law team at Actons. Over the past 18 months, we’ve worked hard to recruit some high-calibre people to the firm who are looking for an opportunity to be part of something increasingly unique in the local market – and we’re very keen for that trend to continue.”

McCrery added: “I’m thrilled to join Actons. Along with Sophie, we’re looking forward to growing the firm’s Family Law offering and our profile in the marketplace not just in Nottingham but also further afield. I was attracted to join Actons by the opportunity to grow the department and also to join a firm where I admired their culture and enviable position in the local market. It’s also really nice to work with some previous colleagues who have themselves found a great home at Actons.”
