Howells Solicitors has strengthened the conveyancing team in its Newport office following the appointment of experienced solicitor Sarah Beynon-Williams.

Sarah has joined the law firm’s expanding conveyancing team to work with existing clients and manage new contracts recently won with local and national panels.

Moving to Howells from another legal practice in South Wales, Sarah has previously managed busy departments and has extensive conveyancing experience.

She said: “In my previous position, I was responsible for the growth and development of two departments within the practice.

"My new role will enable me to use the skills I have developed with regards to new business development, as well as managing and maintaining the strong relationships Howells have with independent and regional estate agents in the area. Their focus on providing a personal service is appealing to me."

Mark Hobbs, managing partner, Howells Solicitors, said: “We are growing as a company and delighted to welcome Sarah who will add her expertise and experience to the team.

"Residential conveyancing is a particularly strong department within the firm and we recently won the Bronze Award in the Best Large Conveyancer category of the UK Estate Agency of the Year. It is vital that we manage our growth by investing in the right people to maintain customer service standards as the number of cases we deal with increases.”
