Lancaster-based Baines Wilson has expanded its commercial property team with the appointments of Sophi Al-Tikriti as a solicitor and Catherine Cross joins as a paralegal.

Sophi, who joins from JMW Solicitors in Manchester, has particular experience acting on behalf of landlords and tenants, advising on commercial refinances and helping with commercial purchases and disposals.

She said: “Recognised by both Chambers and Legal 500, who advise they should be ‘a key name on any shortlist’, the commercial property team at Baines Wilson has a formidable reputation, so I’m delighted to be joining their ranks.”

Catherine Cross, who previously worked at Gateley plc in Manchester, has wide ranging experience assisting on both transactional and litigated property matters.

She said: “The commercial property team are known for their strong technical knowledge, commercial outlook and ability to provide straightforward and practical advice.  I look forward to working with clients UK wide.”

Sean Logue, head of commercial property, said: “The commercial property market in Cumbria remains strong and that is reflected in the growth we’ve enjoyed over the past 12 months. "Sophi and Catherine both bring valuable experience which strengthens our offering and benefits our clients.”
