A leading North East corporate and commercial law firm has announced an appointment in a key department, to assist with increased client demand.
Newcastle-based Mincoffs Solicitors has welcomed solicitor Connie Lu to its corporate team as the latest new starter in a period of prolonged growth for the firm.
Prior to joining Mincoffs, Connie trained across multiple offices at an award-winning law firm in the south of England, before accepting a position in the corporate team at another national firm.
Through these roles, Connie gained experience working with SMEs and larger corporations within the health sector and looks forward to building on these skills in her new position at Mincoffs.
Along with the corporate team being shortlisted for two categories at the Insider Media North East Dealmakers Awards, the latest Experian Market IQ M&A Review confirmed that the corporate team had maintained their 18-month streak ranking as the region’s number one deal adviser.
Connie said: “I am very excited to join this vibrant and busy firm. It has a fantastic reputation and an established position in the marketplace.
“The great exposure to a wide range of work and clients here is amazing and I can’t wait to work closely with the team in the near future.”
Following a raft of new client wins and significant growth at the firm, there are plans to expand the workforce by 10 percent over the next year, with additional appointments planned for the corporate team.
Paul Hughes, senior partner and head of corporate, is confident Connie will be an asset to the department.
“We are delighted to have Connie joining the firm during what is a really exciting and busy time for our corporate team as we continue to attract new work and clients,” he said.
“Despite being in the early stages of her legal career, Connie has worked on some significant transactions in her previous roles and this experience stands her in great stead for the calibre of deals we work on.
“I have no doubt Connie will be a great fit for the team and we look forward to helping her develop her skills as she builds her own caseload at Mincoffs.”

Alongside corporate and commercial services, the firm’s offering includes real estate, dispute resolution, employment law, licensing and gaming, residential conveyancing, family law and wills, probate and trusts.
