Muckle scales up Teesside ambitions with major office expansion
We’re delighted to announce that we’ve boosted our presence in Teesside with a recruitment drive and investment in a permanent new site.
Our dedicated Teesside team will now be based at our new office at Boaz House in Stockton. The move further highlights our commitment and belief in Teesside and the Tees Valley.
We’ve been working in and around Teesside for many years, but the move to permanent premises marks a new chapter for us.
Driven by demand from clients across the region and the scope and scale of opportunities on offer, the move will allow our lawyers to work more closely with their clients and business partners in Teesside.
Led by partner and head of private client Leah Duffield, real estate partner Rachel List, and corporate partner Oliver Hebdon, our new Stockton office will offer a full scope of legal services. They are joined by fellow Teessiders - real estate associate Samantha Alderton, private client paralegal Jack Reynolds, PA and officer coordinator Claire Rance, and solicitor apprentice Cassie Woodier.
Leah Duffield said: ‘Muckle already has a proud history of working with high-profile businesses in Teesside, but the investment in our new Stockton office is our biggest commitment yet. Our new Stockton base brings us even closer to the businesses driving Teesside’s economic growth and the great organisations and individuals we work with. I’m so excited to be able to offer them such a range of legal support right on their doorstep.
‘The new team are born and bred Teessiders and are equally keen to share their expertise to help the businesses of this region to thrive.’
We are proud of our existing roots in Teesside, working with the likes of Teesside International Airport, Wilton Engineering and Tekmar Energy.
We also work closely with the Tees Valley Combined Authority and were appointed to the legal panel for the £20m Teesside Flexible Investment Fund, managed by FW Capital, which aims to support economic development in Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees.
Our investment is a continuation of our commitment to the local community. As a B Corp-accredited firm, we believe in balancing purpose with profit. For several years, it has worked closely with charities such as Middlesbrough-based Clean Slate Solutions – providing them with grant funding, volunteer support and pro bono legal advice.
Our managing partner, Anthony Evans said, “We are delighted to have a new permanent base in Stockton for our Teesside team. We have worked with fantastic businesses and organisations in Teesside for some time, so having the opportunity to invest in the region and grow our new team is an exciting prospect for us. We believe in business as a force for good in Teesside, as shown by our partnership with Clean Slate Solutions, and cannot wait to do more.”
