A WORCESTERSHIRE solicitors practice is expanding with the appointment of a new solicitor.

Louise Adams has joined Gordon Luttons specialising in commercial matters, and acts for local business and charities.

She will be working with Colin Gordon in the continued growth of the corporate and commercial department of the firm, which has offices in Hereford and Worcester.

She joins the firm from legal practice, Painters Solicitors, where she worked for 10 years, latterly as a partner, and brings with her extensive experience of advising on commercial contracts including terms and conditions, buying and selling businesses and commercial leases.

“Gordon Lutton has an excellent reputation for delivering practical, results-focused advice and when presented with the opportunity to join the team my decision was simple," she said.

"The firm has a distinct approach to delivering legal services, which sets it apart, and it is respected both locally and regionally.”

Colin Gordon, managing partner, added: “Louise brings with her a wealth of experience and I am very pleased to be welcoming her to the firm.

"The expansion of the team is further evidence of our commitment to further growing and developing our commercial practice.

“Louise’s ability to forge good client relationships quickly, combined with her technical expertise and pragmatic approach, and I’m confident that she will play a vital role in our future success."
