Grantham law firm expands with trio of new hires

Grantham-based JMP Solicitors has bolstered its team with a trio of new hires – Jacqui Harley as conveyancing executive, Emma Darley as trainee legal executive and Zoe Sadler as marketing manager.

Jacqui will be overseeing the conveyancing team as head of the Residential Conveyancing department, providing legal services for new build and second-hand properties as well as leasehold and freehold conveyancing. In her remit, she will also be dealing with issues involving Help to Buy, Lifetime ISA’s, Auction Purchases, Right to Buy and Transfer of Equity.

Previously employed at Hegarty LLP, Jacqui brings with her a degree in law from the University of Lancashire, as well as being a qualified licensed conveyancer for the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC).

Emma is joining the JMP team as a trainee legal executive and will be responsible for assisting the wider Family Law team, whilst focusing on her training to become a fully qualified chartered legal executive, as she undertakes her CILEx Graduate Diploma.

Previously employed at Faith Williams Law Limited, she received her law degree from the University of Lincoln and is a member of the Lincolnshire branch of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives.

Grantham-based Zoe joins JMP from Nelsons Solicitors with 18 years of marketing experience in the legal sector. She will be leading the company’s innovative growth strategy to help position JMP as the go-to legal firm in the region and further afield.

Jacqui said: “Client care is at the heart of JMP’s services and due to this forward-thinking personal approach, treating clients as real people, I have really been looking forward to joining the team.

“I am friendly, approachable and never too busy to speak to clients, estate agents or solicitors. I hope to grow the department, gain further client satisfaction, and build a reputation for JMP Solicitors as the go-to firm for conveyancing.”

Emma said: “With JMP Solicitors, there is a lot of room for progression, which attracted me to the role. In my new position, I will be able to expand my knowledge and skillset while working on a varied caseload. I can’t wait to go forward with the company in the future.”

Zoe said: “Having worked in law marketing for over 18 years, I am thrilled to be joining such a dedicated and hard-working team to implement the firm’s wider growth strategy. JMP is renowned for its high quality legal services and has worked on a number of landmark legal cases including the Network Rail Court of Appeal case.”

Ian Howard at JMP said: “We welcome Jacqui, Emma and Zoe to the team and it’s a pleasure to introduce new employees with skill, experience and enthusiasm to the company. We’ve recently seen a surge in demand for both our conveyancing and family law services, so these hires will allow us to grow across both departments and I know our new team members will fit in perfectly.

“We wish them all the best of luck in their new roles and it will be great to have them beside us as we continue to grow.”
