LAW firm Ridley & Hall has appointed solicitor Adam Fletcher as a partner.

Mr Fletcher (pictured), who was previously a partner at Harley & Worstenholme in Pontefract, will head the Huddersfield firm’s business development activities following his successful project management of its Elderflower venture, which brings together a network of legal and financial specialists to advise older clients on issues affecting them.

Senior partner Nigel Priestley said: “At Ridley and Hall, we’ve recently acquired three new partners – Michael George, Kevin Ludgate and Adam Fletcher. I’m confident that by growing, we are in a stronger position to meet the changing needs of our clients both regionally and nationally.”

Mr Fletcher has more than 10 years experience in residential property. In addition to his business development role, he will continue to undertake property work for his large client following.

He has been instrumental in gaining the firm the newly launched Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme, which is a mark of excellence in the home buying process.
