Stone King also welcomes solicitor Lily Langlois who joins the firm’s commercial property team having previously worked as a real estate lawyer at international law firm CMS Cameron McKenna.

Lily deals with a range of commercial property matters including acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant matters and re-financing transactions. She also advises charities and faith organisations on property issues, and educational establishments on mergers and academy conversions.

Other new faces include Sarah Hindle who joins the family law team from London firm Creighton & Partners. Sarah specialises in local authority care proceedings involving children and previously worked for a French law firm in China.

Also taking up new posts are HR adviser Shelley Clayton, senior secretary Joanna Godwin, who joins the trusts and estates team, and Robert White who is a paralegal in the commercial property team.

Stone King’s business property team also welcomes legal secretary Joanne Hitchins and licensed conveyancer Manjinder Kang. Additional appointments include legal secretary Judith Logan and credit controller Andrew O’Neill.

Stone King’s Managing Partner Steven Greenwood said: “Amjed, Lily and Sarah have great experience in their legal fields so I’m delighted to welcome them to our growing Bath office.

“Their arrival forms part of our strategy of focusing on four key sectors – private client, business, charity and education – as we position ourselves as a national law firm.

“It’s also a pleasure to welcome Shelley, Joanna, Robert, Joanne, Manjinder, Judith and Andrew and I wish them every success in their new positions.”
