Expert property lawyer strengthens Williamsons' seaside team
A lawyer with 20 years’ expertise in commercial and residential property work has joined Williamsons Solicitors’ Bridlington office.
David Prescott, 45, also has a wealth of experience in general commercial legal work gained with a number of other leading local firms.
“This is an exciting opportunity to help Williamsons serve the local community with a full range of legal services, while at the same time taking the Bridlington office on to the next stage of its growth,” said Mr Prescott.
“We are able to offer a complete package of legal services, which means local residents don’t need to go out of town to find all the services they are looking for.”
On the commercial and residential property side this covers leasehold and freehold transactions including sales and purchases, drawing up of new leases and business disposals.
“We can also provide individuals and businesses with general legal services including employment law, insolvency advice, dispute resolution and wills drafting and probate fully supported by our main office in Hull and sister office in Driffield,” added Mr Prescott, who lives in Hornsea with his wife and family.
Bill Waddington, Williamsons Solicitors director, said:
“Having David join the firm to is a real boost for the business as it means our clients in the town and surrounding area will have easy access to a very experienced lawyer who has a wealth of commercial and residential property expertise at his finger tips.”
Mr Prescott, who has also worked for three years as a company secretary with a local industrial firm, is a keen sportsman. He captained Hornsea Cricket Club 1st XI between 1998 and 2005, a team he still occasionally represents, and is a member of Hornsea Golf Club.
The Leicester University law graduate passed his Law Society Finals at Chester College of Law in 1989, before qualifying in 1991 with a firm in Hull.
Williamsons Solicitors, which opened its Bridlington office in the middle of 2011, is regularly featured in the independent national guides Legal 500 and the Chambers Guide for its legal expertise.
