Business Breakfast: Harrogate law firm makes senior appointment
A Harrogate-based law firm has made a new appointment to its senior team.
Jones Myers has appointed senior family law specialist Neil Dring to lead its office on Victoria Avenue.
Mr Dring joins the firm’s financial remedies department, which is regularly instructed in multi-jurisdictional proceedings and cases involving complex corporate and offshore trust structures.
He said:
“Jones Myers’ standing as an award-winning leader in its field which attracts the best family lawyers is acknowledged on a regional and national level. Its esteemed Children’s Department is also renowned internationally.
“The firm’s ethos of seeking non-confrontational solutions to relationship breakdowns resonates with my approach and values, and I am looking forward to playing a key role in the practice’s continued expansion.”
Richard Peaker, Jones Myers managing partner who heads the financial remedies department, said:
“Neil is a highly respected and well-known family lawyer whose breadth and depth of experience highly complements our expertise and approach in delivering bespoke solutions for our clients.
“We warmly welcome him to the team as we continue to go from strength to strength in Yorkshire and beyond.”
Harrogate BID to host counter-terrorism workshops
Harrogate BID is set to host counter-terrorism workshops for its members this month.
The workshop will deal with ‘Document Awareness’ and is aimed at those in HR or those responsible for recruitment in their organisations, helping recruiters identify false documentation.
This initiative coincides with an announcement that new counter-terrorism legislation will be introduced for UK venues as a reaction to the 2017 attack at the Manchester Arena during an Ariana Grande concert.
Bethany Allen, Business and Marketing Executive at Harrogate BID, said:
“At the same time as Martyn’s Law shores up the UK’s venues against attacks, the BID is partnering with Counter Terrorism Policing North East to help Harrogate’s business stay prepared.
“It essential that criminals seeking unlawful access into an organisation be caught in the recruitment stage, which is exactly what our workshop should help business accomplish.
“The practical workshop is approximately two hours long, and provides detailed training in how to identify document fraud, looking at passports and driving licences, comparing features of real and false documents.”
The workshop will take place on Thursday January 12, between 1.30 and 3.30pm at The Crown Hotel, Crown Place, Harrogate, HG1 2RZ.
BID Members wishing to attend this session should email info@harrogatebid.co.uk.
