A Bradford-based law firm has grown its commercial contracts team to seven specialists.

Gordons made the expansion after recording a 32 per cent increase in revenue over the past three years.

Will Powell joins the firm from Eversheds Sutherland, while paralegal Alesia-Maria Iliescu begins her legal career at Gordons.

Tosif Bashir was also appointed in September as a newly qualified solicitor in the commercial team.

Andy Brian, partner and head of commercial at Gordons, said: “We’ve grown fast over the past few years, and we want to continue to do so.

“We need more people in the team to help us deliver that growth, and both Will and Alesia have made impressive starts.

“We’re also delighted that Tosif chose to stay and develop his career with us.

“We’re extremely proud of our client base and grateful for the relationships of trust which enable us to deliver strong financial performance.”
