Expert pair boosts Taylor&Emmet team

Sheffield solicitors, Taylor&Emmet LLP, is enhancing the services it offers to local residents and businesses with the appointment of two new legal specialists.

The firm is expanding its contentious probate and employment law teams with the addition of Stacie Hurt and Kelly Gibson.

Contentious probate solicitor, Stacie, joins Taylor&Emmet from HLW Keeble Hawson in Sheffield and will be handling a variety of disputes, including Inheritance Act claims, issues surrounding the executors of wills and the maladministration of trusts. She will also be assisting department head, Alex Watkinson, with large or complex matters.

Stacie said: “I was attracted to Taylor&Emmet by its reputation for excellence and the opportunity to be part of a team that is growing so rapidly. I have worked in opposition with Alex and seen how successful he has been since forming the department last year. There is fantastic development potential within contentious probate and clear commitment from the firm to meet client demand.”

Taylor&Emmet is also welcoming Kelly, a chartered legal executive, to its employment law department to handle enquiries from businesses and individuals on all employment issues and workplace disputes. Most recently, she was based at Elliott Mather in Chesterfield, following stints at firms in Manchester and Sheffield. She added: “My new colleagues are leading employment law professionals and I am looking forward to being part of such a strong, innovative operation.”
