Appointment Follows Successful Year For Law Firm

5th June 2019

BRM Solicitors have appointed a new director to its growing Real Estate Department at its Sheffield office.

James Alger is a very experienced commercial property lawyer, and joins BRM from regional law firm Keebles. James said: -I am delighted to join BRM during an exciting period of growth. Along with the existing team, I am looking forward to contributing to the firm's continuing growth and success and helping develop the BRM brand as a commercial force in the region. The appointment follows a successful year for the law firm. BRM opened the doors of its Sheffield office at the newly renovated Steel City House on West Street in early 2018, building on the success of its Chesterfield HQ. In its first year, BRM has seen strong growth. New relationships forged in the Steel City, and a sustained recruitment drive attracting new talent to its commercial teams has allowed the firm to quickly realise its ambitions, and enhance the range and quality of its services. This has been welcomed by both existing clients, and new clients attracted to BRM following the expansion into Sheffield. Most recently, a team has been created in the Sheffield office within the Property Department to service high-volume plot sales work on behalf of a national property developer. Alastair Reid, who heads the Sheffield office said: -From a standing start 12 months ago we now have a team of 5 property specialists working in our Sheffield office, this growth demonstrates our success in the property market acting for both established and for new clients to the firm and our commitment and ambition to develop our regional presence. "To be able attract someone of James' experience and quality shows the investment the firm has made in the new office is paying off.
