Experienced property lawyer Lynne Webster has been appointed at Hull firm Rollits.
Lynne, who has more than 20 years of experience in the commercial property sector, will join an existing team of experts at the firm.
She will use her expertise to advise clients on property investment and developments. Her appointment at Rollits takes the firm’s commercial property team to nine.
Lynne said: “Joining the property team at Rollits is a fantastic opportunity for me.
“The firm has an outstanding reputation and a great client base, which I am looking forward to developing further.
“I’m excited to bring my regional property knowledge and insight into this mix too and build upon my philosophy of working WITH clients, not ‘for’ them to achieve their goals as quickly and simply as possible.”
Lynne, who grew up in Driffield, East Yorkshire, graduated from Manchester University with law degree in 1993.
She started her career as a trainee solicitor in London but moved back to her Yorkshire roots in 2000 when she joined Ison Harrison Solicitors Leeds and embarked on her legal career specialising in property law.
As a result of Lynne’s appointment, Rollits – which has offices in Hull and York – now has an impressive team of nine qualified property solicitors in Yorkshire, with over 180 years’ experience between them.
Mark Dixon, head of Rollits’ property department, said: “To recruit someone of Lynne’s calibre is a real coup for Rollits and will certainly strengthen our credentials in the field of property law.
“Lynne has a first-rate reputation regionally and her appointment will further strengthen our excellent service offer to our clients and contribute to further growth in this area of our business.”
