SUBSTANTIAL growth at a Worcestershire law firm has prompted the recruitment of a new partner.

Harrison Clark, which has its head office in Worcester, has seen a significant increase in demand for its employment services which led to the appointment of a further specialist.

Head of employment Richard Green said the recruitment of Andréa Bateman reflected a rise in requests for businesses looking for advice. Ms Bateman, who will be based at Harrison Clark’s Cheltenham offices, is pictured, front, with Harrison Clark’s employment team.
