I was particularly attracted to the firm’s specialism in agricultural law; there is a focus on ensuring those within the team have the right resources that enable them to be standout experts in their field.
“I am excited to start engaging with local farming businesses in Lincolnshire; continue to build and maintain relationships with clients; and assist the rural community with their legal needs by providing practical and specialist advice.”
Amy Cowdell, partner and head of agriculture at Shakespeare Martineau, said: “We are delighted to welcome Charlotte to our team. Her background and experience are perfectly aligned with our commitment to delivering exceptional service to the agricultural sector. Charlotte’s deep-rooted connection to farming and her proven expertise in agricultural law will be invaluable as we continue to expand our offerings and support our clients’ diverse needs.”
