Following a period of robust recruitment, the firm has bolstered its services with the addition of three highly experienced professionals specialising in licensing law. Senior Associate Jo Soar, Associate Lesley Harper, and Senior Paralegal Caroline Twist collectively bring over a century of expertise in this domain.
With a strong background in both public and private sector licensing, the team is poised to offer expert guidance on all aspects of alcohol, entertainment licensing law, and gambling law. Their client portfolio ranges from small independent businesses to breweries and renowned sporting venues, underscoring their versatility and depth of experience.
The establishment of the licensing team comes only weeks after the recent appointment of Corporate Partner David Kaplan, further enriching the firm’s suite of core services.
Reflecting on her appointment, Jo expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “I am delighted to join Rothera Bray and eager to lead the team in building upon our success and reputation. We remain committed to serving leading names in the leisure and hospitality industry, continually enhancing our team to meet the evolving licensing needs of clients at both local and national levels.”
Christina Yardley, CEO at Rothera Bray, echoed this sentiment, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Jo, Lesley, and Caroline to the firm and expand our core services through the establishment of a dedicated licensing team. Their wealth of experience will further strengthen our ability to deliver exceptional legal solutions to our clients.”
