Commercial property specialist joins Nottingham law firm as director

Actons, the Nottingham law firm, has appointed Ed Postlethwaite as a director in its commercial property team.

Postlethwaite, an experienced commercial property lawyer, brings nearly two decades of expertise to the firm, having joined from HCB Solicitors, where he was head of commercial property for the Midlands.

He said: “Actons has a strong reputation for client service and expertise in commercial property, and I look forward to contributing to the continued success and growth of the team.”

Caroline Pearson, director and head of property, added: “Ed’s arrival is a key part of the growth plans for the Property team and wider firm. His extensive commercial property and property finance experience will be a huge benefit to the team and our clients.”

Simon Dakin, chairman at Actons, said: “I know that Ed will play a pivotal role in helping drive our property team forward and continue to strengthen our position as a leading law firm in Nottingham. 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.”

Postlethwaite qualified as a solicitor in 2006 and has held senior positions at firms such as HCB Solicitors and Shakespeare Martineau.
