Eatons lays down the new Law

Eatons Solicitors are delighted to announce the appointment of Maureen Singleton as Head of the new Corporate and Employment Law Department.

Maureen will be responsible for the development of this new department which will deal with all aspects of company commercial and employment law work. Maureen has a vast amount of experience in dealing with business sales and acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, management buy-outs, shareholder disputes, partnership and other business law matters. Maureen is also a specialist in all areas of employment law both contentious and non-contentious including appearing regularly as an advocate in the Employment Tribunal. Whilst maintaining her Yorkshire base Maureen is well-known and respected throughout the country.

In the past Maureen has established an employment law networking forum known as “The Opus Club” which provides help, training and guidance on employment law issues. Meetings of The Opus Club will recommence at Eatons over the summer months.

Graeme Brown Senior Partner for Eatons says, “Maureen’s appointment marks the official consolidation of several areas of our corporate and employment law expansion programme that we have been undertaking for the last few years. She will be responsible for driving this area of the practise forward and has already brought several significant clients with her.”

Maureen has said that, “This is a very exciting phase for me personally and professionally and I’m looking forward to the challenge that this will offer. Eatons are held in very high regard for the legal services they offer and the new dedicated Corporate and Employment Law Departments will enhance this reputation.”

Eatons was first established in Bradford in 1887 and as such is one of the oldest solicitors’ practises in the UK and has grown into a substantial regional business with an additional office in the centre of Leeds. The practice premises are steeped in history being built on the site of the original Bradford Dispensary (b.1826), which became the Bradford Library until closing in 1981, when Eatons took over. The practice now employs over fifty legal professionals and prides themselves on their high level of client care and approachability.
