Four new partners have come on board at Harrison Clark Rickerbys in different specialisms across the firm – the corporate, employment and wills, trusts and estates teams have benefited from the new additions.

Corporate lawyer Robert Rice joins the firm's Thames Valley office from Boyes Turner. Wills, trusts and estate expert Victoria Baker also joins the Reading office, while Chris Mayers’ experience in employment and professional negligence claims boost the Wye Valley team and Beth King-Smith takes on the leadership of the firm’s contentious probate team in Worcester.

Richard Knight, the firm’s senior partner, said: “Our growth has always followed client demand and so it is now – we are always ready to take on talented people who can offer our clients the standard of expertise and care that we expect. We are delighted that Robert, Victoria, Chris and Beth have joined us and we look forward to working with them.”

Mayers, whose considerable experience in employment law extends to professional negligence and mediation, said: “I’m looking forward to working with the firm’s diverse range of clients and with a very experienced and expert team.”

Baker, who is also a notary public, said: “I think this is a great opportunity to build on the firm’s wills and trusts service in the area – I’m very happy to be part of a team with such a well-deserved reputation for client care.”
