Sophie joins banking team at Trethowans

Leading regional law firm Trethowans is delighted to announce the appointment of a new banking partner Sophie Eales.

Before joining Trethowans, Sophie was a key member of the banking team at Bond Dickinson where she worked for more than 10 years.

Here she acted for major UK lenders and significant corporates, as well as undertaking a secondment with The Post Office. Sophie specialises in banking and finance work with the added benefit of having a good commercial awareness obtained during her time working directly with a client during her secondment.

The UK guide to the legal profession, Chambers and Partners 2015, highlights Sophie as a notable practitioner, described by peers as ‘a good operator’, with clients saying she is easy to deal with. The guide also recognises that she has particular expertise in acquisition finance matters.

Sophie joins an already successful banking team at Trethowans, which advises banks, other financial institutions and borrowers across the region in respect of their finance and security requirements.

Nick Gent, partner at Trethowans, commented: “We are delighted to have Sophie joining the team. She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge across a range of banking and finance matters, adding further depth to an already well regarded practice.”

Sophie’s appointment comes in the same month as Trethowans’ merger with Poole based law firm Dickinson Manser. Sophie commented “I am very excited to be joining Trethowans. It is a progressive firm, with an excellent reputation and I am very much looking forward to being involved in its future growth.”
