Preston based firm expands its family team
Allan Pickup joins the Vincents family team and will be based at the headquarters in Winckley Square, Preston. He follows former colleague Val Shaw who joined Vincents last year.
Allan, who sits as a deputy district judge in the North West, is an expert in care proceedings. He also undertakes a substantive amount of courtroom advocacy on behalf of family clients. He has been a member of the Children's Panel for over 15 years.
Allan says: “I’m delighted to be working with such an experienced team here at Vincents, and pleased to bring my expertise to a fast growing business. I’m looking forward to building on existing relationships with officers of the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service and working with new clients across the county."
Allan is the latest in a string of new appointments as the firm expands right across the business.
Director Mark Mosley, head of family law at Vincents, says: “As a firm we are having to grow in order to meet the demands of new instructions across all our departments. In particular we identified the benefits both Val and Allan would bring to the family team for our existing clients, and have confidence their reputation will see them bring in new business and referrals from across the region.”
