Fraser Brown solicitors has begun the New Year with some
resolve, expanding its team with appointment of a new partner,
Andrew Pilkington. Andrew joins from Flint Bishop where he was
Partner and Head of Commercial Contracts.
The appointment marks an intention by Fraser Brown to strengthen
the overall range of Business Services offered by the firm and
build on specialisms that have maintained a positive trading
performance throughout the recent difficult economic stretch.
Peter Thornley, Managing Partner at Fraser Brown, said: "Andrew
specialises in commercial contracts. This includes agency, supply
and distribution, sponsorship, franchise and IT agreements. This
specialisation adds considerable niche strength to an expanding
Business Services Team. We are looking forward to the challenges
that 2011 will bring and further increasing our market share in the
East Midlands business community."
Prior to his time at Flint Bishop, Andrew spent 5 years working
as the commercial and legal advisor at Rolls Royce. He has worked
within both the private and public sectors and has extensive
experience of a broad range of commercial contracts. As a trustee
of Football in the Community, a registered charity affiliated to
Derby County Football Club, he also holds specialist knowledge of
the sports sector.
"Joining Fraser Brown is an opportunity for me to pursue my
broad range of interests and share my expertise with an expanding
team base. The firm is forward thinking and this new position
presents a personal challenge that I believe would be incredibly
difficult to match in today's market."
