REGIONAL law firm Andrew Jackson has announced continued growth with the appointment of senior solicitor Erika Sinclair.

With more than 15 years’ legal experience, Mrs Sinclair moves from the York office of Lupton Fawcett Denison Till.

Her appointment signals further expansion for Andrew Jackson in the York market and follows the recent announcement that Philip Ashworth has joined the firm as a partner from Bond Dickinson. Prior to that, he ran his own firm Philip Ashworth & Co in York before its merger with Dickinson Dees in 2007.

Partner Richard Hoare, head of private client services at Andrew Jackson, said: "Erika has built a strong reputation for private client work and her depth of legal knowledge in this area is further strengthened by her STEP qualification, which is recognised within the industry as the benchmark qualification for those working within this field.

"Our private client practice has grown in recent years and Erika will play a key role in helping us to continue to deliver the high levels of client service which we aim for across the firm."
