One of Nottinghamshire's oldest legal firms has appointed a new paralegal to its conveyancing department, enabling the team to expand its residential and commercial property portfolio.

Robert Barber Solicitors, based on Bridgford Road in West Bridgford, has appointed Hayley Gamble to work alongside solicitor and head of department, Maria Armstrong-Langley and paralegal Val Dawson.

Hayley joins Val in assisting Maria on the firm's residential conveyancing work allowing Maria to further expand the commercial conveyancing client-base around West Bridgford and the surrounding towns.

Maria said: "Due to the increase in demand for both residential and commercial conveyancing work that we've experienced we've needed to expand our team. With the addition of Hayley to the team we now have more than 40 years combined conveyancing experience and can continue to provide a prompt and efficient service to our clients."

Founded almost 150 years ago, Robert Barber Solicitors has three partners who specialise in a range of legal services including family law, personal injury claims, civil litigation, probate and wills, employment law, conveyancing, personal administration and leases and business transfers.
