A WARWICKSHIRE law firm is expanding its operations with the launch of a new family law arm.
Sandra Garlick founded De Marco Solicitors in Babington, near Coventry, in 2007 as a specialist in employment law and business affairs.
She has now joined forces local family law solicitor Dave Lee to establish De Marco Family Law Solicitors, based at Middlemarch Business Park.
Their routes into the legal profession are mirrored with both having worked in other professions before moving into law.
Ms Garlick worked in various sales and marketing roles before going to college after having children to enable her to study for a law degree from the University of Warwick.
She founded De Marco Solicitors from her spare bedroom.
Mr Lee, who lives in Crick near Rugby, was an accountant before a role with a firm of solicitors inspired him to re-train.
His speciality evolved while working for practices throughout Coventry and Warwickshire and in recent years he has focused on developing his advocacy skills.
He now has over 20 years of experience in family law and litigation matters.
Ms Garlick said: “It is very exciting to be involved in starting a new business again.
“I have taken all of the skills I have learnt from setting up De Marco Solicitors to effectively clone my existing business with Dave providing the family law expertise.
“Unfortunately, it is an area of law that I get approached about on a daily basis from clients wanting specialist advice and we will now be able to fulfil that need.”
