Two new partners at Newcastle firm
Two lawyers who joined law firm Sintons as trainees have been made partners.
Laura Peace and Adrian Dye joined the Newcastle firm as graduates in 2002 and 2004 respectively. Now, after more than a decade with Sintons, they will be promoted to partner as of 1 February.
Sintons now has over 250 people, including 29 partners, and enjoyed a strong year of growth in 2013, during which the firm took on 27 new recruits.
Laura is a real estate lawyer who works extensively in the acquisition and disposal of commercial property, secured lending and landlord and tenant work. She is also part of Sintons’ nationally-regarded healthcare team, with a specialism in the sale and purchase of dental practices.
Adrian specialises in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions and private equity transactions. He is part of the firm’s esteemed specialist pharmacy team, and has expertise in the energy and renewables sector.
Phil Ridley, practice director at Sintons, says: “From starting out as trainees with us, Laura and Adrian have gone on to become outstanding lawyers, highly regarded in their field of expertise across the North East and beyond.
“We invest heavily in developing all of our people at Sintons, and it is very pleasing to see people who joined us as trainees, such as Laura and Adrian, go on to secure partnership. We congratulate them on their promotion, and wish them luck in their continuing careers with Sintons.”
