A LAW firm is expanding its Worcester office with two new team members.

Helen Hanson has arrived as an associate solicitor in the family department of Thursfields and Daniel Tetsell as litigator in the civil litigation department.

Mr Tetsell's focus will be on offering expert advice and assistance to landlords and management companies in relation to all matters concerning leasehold and freehold properties. For the last seven years, he has worked with some of the UK’s leading landlords, developers, and managing agents to help them navigate this often complex area of law.

Mrs Hanson joins the firm from Ellis Hass Solicitors in Solihull. She has been advising and assisting clients in family law for more than 11 years and is a lawyer who takes a pragmatic approach. She deals with all aspects of family law, but as a family law panel member is particularly skilled in advising on and negotiating settlements.

Shane Miller, director and head of the family law department of Thursfields Solicitors, said: "We are extremely excited to welcome Daniel and Helen to the team. Thursfields are focused on finding the right people who have the legal expertise and who are able to provide an excellent customer service to our clients. It is very encouraging that the market is growing and we are looking forward to the challenges of 2015. Our main focus for the year is growth, over the last two months alone the firm has achieved 19 per cent growth and with our sector led focus we very much believe that this can only increase.”
