Gill Akaster solicitors has recently appointed a new Partner and Head of Department as part of its business strategy, which aims to position the company as the leading law firm serving Plymouth.
Nigel Stannard has over 25 years’ experience in law and has joined Gill Akaster as Partner and Head of Residential Conveyancing. Previously a Partner in a Wiltshire firm, dealing primarily with property work, Nigel began his career in the public sector after qualifying as a Legal Executive and moved into private practice after admission as a Solicitor.
Nigel’s new role will see him lead the company’s residential team and deal with all aspects of buying and selling residential property.
Nigel commented on his appointment: "I have joined Gill Akaster at a difficult time in the residential property market. All professionals involved in this area of work are feeling the pinch and there is much doom and gloom in the media. However, my team has a wealth of experience with strong local connections. I am confident that with Gill Akaster's reputation in the Plymouth area, and its solid client base, we can continue to provide an excellent service - despite these more challenging times."
Managing Partner Stephen Ramsden added: “With a breadth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of property work, Nigel will be an asset to the Gill Akaster team. With many businesses now feeling the pinch of the credit crunch we needed to ensure we have the top players in the field, positioning ourselves as the number one law firm serving Plymouth.”
