Cannock and Lichfield law firm Ansons Solicitors is celebrating the appointment of an additional commercial property solicitor. 

Neil Faunch joins the commercial property department at Ansons Solicitors after completing a structured two year training contract with the firm. Neil gained experience across a variety of departments before specialising in commercial property law.  

Neil will be involved in advising on agricultural law matters too. Neil commented: "I've always had an interest in law and I especially enjoyed land and property law whilst studying at university. The experience I gained during my training within Ansons Solicitors' commercial property department made me realise that this was the area of law for me.  

"I am delighted to be working for Ansons Solicitors as they are one of the largest and most progressive commercial law firms within the region". 

Senior partner Simon James commented: "The commercial property market has been through a tough time recently, but the last few months have seen the market bounce back. We have certainly seen an increase in demand and the appointment of Neil couldn't have come at a better time for us as we continue to strive for growth and to be the best law firm within the region."

Ansons Solicitors clearly remain committed to trainee development recently employing Laura Rostance within the family department following the completion of her training contract and by taking on trainee solicitor Gemma Eldon in late 2009.

Neil studied for his law degree at Birmingham University and passed a Legal Practice Course at The College of Law Birmingham. He lives in Burntwood and is a keen football referee for a number of local football leagues.
