Taylor&Emmet LLP is expanding its commercial property team to strengthen the legal advice it provides to North Derbyshire’s rural businesses.

Bryony Shaw joins the Sheffield-based solicitors to take on a mixed workload of commercial work at the firm’s Bakewell office.

She will be assisting Taylor&Emmet’s commercial property partner in Bakewell, George Thomson, on new and existing matters for a wide range of organisations based in and around the popular market town.

Bryony worked previously at Sheffield firm, Ironmonger Curtis, where she provided corporate support for the sale and purchase of dental practices. She said: “Taking on a much wider commercial property remit is enabling me to broaden my knowledge base and technical skills. Taylor&Emmet is a large firm with professional support systems and I have been really impressed with what I’ve seen so far.”

George Thomson added: “Bryony is a welcome addition to our team. Her enthusiasm, regional knowledge and excellent application of commercial property law will enhance the services we provide locally. Bakewell serves a varied client base and I have no doubt she will quickly cement her place within the town’s business community.”
