On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Accountancy firm Wright Vigar has appointed Lee Henshaw as associate director.
The move follows the firm’s recent office relocation in Mansfield.
“We’re delighted to have Lee join our Mansfield team,” said Matthew Chadwick, director at Wright Vigar. “His extensive experience and local knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to expand our services in the area. This appointment reflects our commitment to supporting businesses in and around Mansfield.”
Prior to joining Wright Vigar, Lee spent 12 years at Elkingtons.
Henshaw said: “I’ve had a warm welcome from the team in Mansfield, and the new office is excellent. I’m looking forward to getting to know more local professionals and businesses in the area, and talking to them about the difference Wright Vigar can make through our proactive advice, personal service and technical expertise.”
Laura Ralph
Nottingham-headquartered UK immigration law firm, OTB Legal, has appointed Laura Ralph as associate solicitor at its London office.
The move follows the recent hire of Natasha Mitter in the capital.
Director Mark Lilley-Tams said: “OTB Legal is in a planned phase of consistent growth and we are delighted to be able to add someone with such focused expertise as Laura to our personal immigration team so soon after welcoming Natasha Mitter. They are both excellent solicitors and will be fantastic assets for us as a firm and for our clients.”
Ralph said: “It is immediately clear on arriving here at OTB Legal that this is a firm that is modern, ambitious and is not afraid to look at things from a fresh perspective. I particularly look forward to bringing my specialist knowledge of family-based applications under Appendix FM to OTB Legal and representing clients with appeals to the immigration tribunal where appropriate.”
