A Newcastle legal firm has opened an office in Carlisle and adding a Cumbrian-based solicitor to its team.
Major Family Law has opened its second office at Warwick Mill Business Village and has been joined by Katie Wright.
Managing director Joanne Major said: “Heading west is a very natural progression for us. Carlisle is only a 45-minute drive from our offices in Ponteland. For many years we’ve represented Cumbrian clients from across the county – working in both the Newcastle and Carlisle courts.”
Katie said: “I am excited to be part of the team’s rapid expansion and look forward to being part of a network of top-quality lawyers at Major Family Law.
“When I heard about the plans that Joanne and the team have for the Carlisle office, it was clear how committed the firm is to serving the residents of Carlisle and indeed those right across Cumbria with essential family law services.”
Major Family Law was founded in 2009. In October last year, the firm received its tenth top 10 ranking in prestigious international directory the Legal 500.
It was declared a Tier 1 firm within its field and Joanne was granted the Legal 500’s Hall of Fame status for the second consecutive year.
