New business development manager for leading law firm...

AN award-winning law firm has appointed a new business development manager.

Claire Hewitt has joined the team at EMG Solicitors, based at Abbeywoods Business Park Durham, as part of the company’s continued growth.

EMG was set up in 2014 by Emma Gaudern and has increased both its team and areas of expertise, now employing more than 25 staff working across a wide range of areas of law.

Claire – who joined the team in April – has more than 18 years of experience in professional services marketing, coupled with 15 years working exclusively with legal practices.

Educated at Durham High School for Girls, she studied human communications at the University of Sheffield before completing her professional diploma in Marketing at Carlett Park College, Wirral.

After starting her career working in the marketing departments of various firms across the North East and the North West, she moved into the legal sector in 2001 when she was appointed marketing manager at a large Liverpool law firm.

Since then, she has worked for several high profile firms across the region and in her new role will oversee all marketing activities at EMG.

She believes her specialist knowledge of marketing legal services will be beneficial and said: “I’ve enjoyed a very interesting career so far in professional services marketing and it’s an environment where I thrive.”

“I’m very excited to have joined the team at EMG Solicitors. The firm has become renowned across the region and I’m delighted to now be part of this award-winning team.

“The business is very forward thinking and there are great opportunities ahead for EMG Solicitors and their clients. My role will help to support the legal teams in formulating and achieving their goals and I’m really looking forward to helping drive the business forwards.”

Managing director, Emma Gaudern, said Claire is a welcome addition to the team.

“Claire comes to us very highly recommended and with a strong proven track record, and we are all thrilled to have her as part of the team at EMG,” she said.

“As a firm, we are constantly growing and it’s fantastic to have a new marketing expert on hand who I know will be able to help identify further opportunity for growth and develop our marketing campaigns.

“I’m delighted to have Claire on the team and I’m sure she will quickly become a very strong asset to EMG.”
