He will advise Napthens’ clients in the Southport area on matters including contract drafting and negotiation, landlord and tenant issues, property finance and acquisitions.
He said: “The commercial property sector is particularly active in Southport and I’m looking forward to joining the team at Napthens to help continue the firm’s recent growth in the town and beyond.”
Napthens operates an office in both Southport, and Liverpool city centre at The Plaza, Old Hall Street, along with offices in Lancashire and Cumbria.
