Law firm Jackson Lees Group has strengthened its ranks with a trio of new recruits.
The north west practice has appointed Angelika Motycka, Tim Passmore and Holly Duncanson as solicitors in the wills, trusts and probate, civil and commercial litigation and commercial property teams respectively.
Angelika specialises in estate planning, wills, legal powers of attorney, the administration of estates, trusts and the registration of trusts. She has joined Jackson Lees from Hill Dickinson and is the treasurer of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners’ Liverpool branch.
She said: “As a private client solicitor, I get the chance to help and advise my clients on a range of important matters. I feel very excited to start my journey with Jackson Lees and to continue developing my technical expertise, as well as helping clients.”
Tim, who was previously at a Chester firm, handles a variety of cases from debt recovery and possession matters to high-value, complex commercial disputes.
He said: “I’m looking forward to achieving the best possible outcomes for my clients and making a positive difference for them.
“To work for a firm which promotes positive values and provides me with a platform to make a difference for my clients is extremely rewarding.”
Holly has joined Jackson Lees from Stephensons Solicitors in Wigan. She acts for clients on matters including commercial property acquisitions and disposals, all aspects of leasehold property for landlords and tenants, pension transactions, security of tenure and refinancing.
Her clients range from property investors, pension funds, lenders and SMEs to social housing providers, housing associations and charities.
Holly said: “I’m delighted to join Jackson Lees as I take the next step in my legal career. I look forward to contributing to the team and supporting clients with their varied and complex property matters.”
Jackson Lees, Broudie Jackson Canter and Farrington Law make up the Jackson Lees Group. The group, which employs more than 280 people, has offices in Liverpool, Wirral and Southport.
Jackson Lees Group is part of MAPD Group, which was founded by Brian Cullen and Joanna Kingston-Davies in 2020 to power the growth of local law firms nationally through acquisition. The initials stand for Making a Positive Difference.
Esther Leach, managing director of Jackson Lees Group, said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Angelika, Tim, and Holly to the firm.
“All of them bring a wealth of expertise and a commitment to delivering exceptional client service.
“As we continue to grow and expand, it’s vital that we bring in individuals who not only demonstrate legal excellence but also align with our firm’s values and culture. We can’t wait to see all the good work they do in the future.”
