MD Law builds commercial property arm

Sheffield’s MD Law continues to build its new commercial property arm with the appointment of a new partner to the team.

Solicitor Wendy Martin joins bringing two decades of commercial property experience to the boutique law firm.

Wendy will work with consultant solicitor Howard Wade, who joined the firm last December, to support existing and new clients on commercial property issues and also with commercial partner James Burdekin, when corporate deals involve property aspects.

Experienced commercial property professional Wendy has worked at South Yorkshire and Derby law firms since 2000 and brings her specialisms of freehold and leasehold sales and acquisitions, landlord and tenant advice and leasework. She will also help grow the commercial property team.

Wendy said: “Having worked at larger firms more recently, I am looking forward to being involved in a team environment and playing more of a hands-on role in developing and expanding the team, its offering and its workload.

“People deal with people, and it was the people here that swung it for me, it feels like the right place to be.”

MD Law partner Matthew Dixon, who set up the business eight years ago acting for, and advising professionals, businesses and individuals across the country on corporate law, insolvency, litigation and commercial property matters, said: “I am delighted to welcome Wendy and her considerable high-level commercial property experience, to the firm.

“We are privileged to attract such talent who will help to drive further growth, and continue to deliver strong results for all our clients. Wendy’s addition also takes us another step in the right direction towards meeting our long-term growth goals, with the firm now boasting six partners.”
