Vincents adds six to Lytham team

Vincent Solicitors has added six new starters to its recently-launched Lytham office.

The recruits join the five senior appointments announced late last year.

The latest appointments are each experienced legal assistants and paralegals who had worked at Linder Myers Solicitors in Lytham until its closure in December.

All have returned to work for their former managers who took up new positions with Vincents in December.

Joanne Vickers joins as paralegal and brings more than two decades of experience in private client work. She will support clients with wills, probate, lasting power of attorney, trusts and estate planning.

Adrian Stephenson joins the private client team as legal assistant, and will be working for STEP qualified senior solicitor Patricia Prescott.

David Hinchliffe has recruited his two former assistants Susan Walker, who will provide support for his private client cases, and assistant conveyancer Claire Goodson who will work on his residential property portfolio. 

Family law expert Sarah McCarthy has brought in assistant Catherine Harrison to support her clients in divorce, relationship, inheritance, child care and estate administration cases.

And Lynn Salisbury has been appointed as receptionist at the new Park Street office.

The expansion is the latest in a series of moves which has seen Vincents' Lytham presence grow from a team of six in 2019 to a total of 36 staff based across three offices. 

Phillip Gilmore, Vincents managing director, said: "The launch of the new office increases our capacity to serve the local community with a friendly, approachable and, crucially, face-to-face service. This expansion allows us to support more individuals, families and businesses than ever before.”
