He will take on commercial property cases concerning everything from sales and purchases, to leases and licenses, as well as property-related disputes issues such as breaches of lease, possession orders, easement and right of way disputes. 

He will also handle the firm’s contentious probate litigation and estate dispute cases in support of the private client department.  

Phillip Gilmore, Vincents’ managing director, said: “George is a skilled litigator who has a strong track record in securing positive results for his clients. He also brings that experience to his commercial property cases, ensuring clients have the best guidance at every stage of their transaction.

“As our commercial property department continues to grow in revenue, headcount and ambition, we will continue to invest further in the practitioners and skills which will further support that. We are committed to building a team around George and enabling his development of this area of the business.” 

George joins Vincents from Dickinson Parker Hill in Ormskirk where he worked for five and a half years and was a partner for nearly three.

Prior to his professional career, George completed his LLB Law with Business Studies degree at the University of Birmingham.

George said: “Entering into litigation is a stressful time for any client, so I ensure they’re kept updated with frank and honest guidance throughout their case. I will be building a team here at Vincents, but my clients will always get that personal service from me.”

“Vincents is an ambitious firm with a proactive growth strategy for the future. I’m excited to play my part in that, to develop my own team, and support the wider commercial property and private client departments.
