Doncaster-based HSR Law Solicitors has named Melissa Squires as Head of its Commercial Property Department, where she’ll oversee a team of three qualified solicitors, a paralegal and a trainee solicitor.
After graduation from Leeds Beckett University, Melissa spent two years at Shulmans LLP in Leeds before joining HSR Law as a paralegal in 2017 and has now worked her way up to become Head of Department.
Melissa, based in the firm’s Doncaster office, said: “As a Doncaster native I am particularly proud to be working in this community. The service we provide is essential for Doncaster businesses and as the legal market changes, HSR Law is one of the only local firms with a commercial property offering.
“I have high ambitions for our team and look forward to increasing our presence across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.”
HSR Law managing partner Fabian Braithwaite said: “We are thrilled with Melissa’s promotion. She joined us as a paralegal, completed a training contract and then qualified with us.
“Melissa has since gone on to become an in demand solicitor across the region and we are sure she will continue to excel as a manager. She inherits an exceptionally strong team to work with.”
