A Walsall-based Black Country law firm has announced it has recently appointed two former trainee solicitors as partners.

Richard Neea joined Enoch Evans in 2007 and since qualifying as a solicitor in 2009 has been part of the private client team providing advice on wills, trusts, tax and probate. Stephen Nixon joined Enoch Evans in 2008 and has specialised in all types of commercial and civil litigation.

Since qualifying he has passed the Higher Rights of Audience exam to become a solicitor advocate.

Managing partner David Evans said, “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Stephen and Richard as partners following on from a good trading year. They have both shown that they are valuable members of our business, as well as being well known in their relative fields in the Black Country.”
