New senior associate makes splash at WHN

Woodcock Haworth and Nuttall (WHN) Solicitors has appointed Nick Hodgson as a senior associate in its corporate and commercial team.

He brings 25 years of specialist experience in corporate transactional and commercial law and will support the team’s expanding client base.

Nick’s appointment is the third in WHN’s corporate and commercial team in the past two years, taking it from a team of two to five with over 70 years of combined legal experience.

Paul Matthews, director and head of WHN’s corporate and commercial team, said: “WHN’s corporate and commercial team has experienced real growth over recent years, driven by client demand - particularly for corporate transactional work.

 “Our clients value the deep, long-term relationships that underpin our service, which is why Nick is an excellent addition to the team.

“It’s clear he understands how these relationships, built on trust, lead to the best legal advice and support for clients on both day-to-day commercial matters and more significant corporate transactions.”

Nick, who lives in East Lancashire, is also a former international swimmer. He competed at the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games and won a bronze medal at the 1986 Commonwealth Games.

He said: “WHN has a strong reputation and that reputation is built on truly understanding clients’ businesses and their evolving legal needs.”
