Jen Finch has joined South Wales legal practice Everett Tomlin Lloyd & Pratt as head of conveyancing.

A solicitor specialising in all aspects of residential conveyancing including transfers of equity, right to buy, Help to Buy, purchases, sales and re mortgages, Jen also advises in relation to wills and probate.

Jen, from Newport, completed a degree in leisure and business management before completing a diploma in law and then the LPC.

Jen said: “I was attracted to Everett Tomlin Lloyd and Pratt as they are a very well established family high street firm with a progressive approach to the business. I aim to play a key part in the development of the practice, to help raise the profile of the firm and in particular my department and in so doing help to boost profitability.

“I particularly enjoy conveyancing as I like interacting with clients, estate agents, IFAs and others working within this sector of law.

“It’s a very exciting time to be working in Newport with the start of the Friars Walk retail scheme which will serve to attract many more businesses and people to the city centre. Newport is also seeing a significant increase in the number of new home developments in what is a prime location on the M4 Corridor at the Gateway to South Wales.”

ETLP partner Kirsten Tuck said: “Jen’s appointment significantly strengthens both our team and the service we can give to our clients. We’re delighted to have been able to attract a professional of Jen’s undoubted and proven calibre and that she chose to join us at this significant time in the development and growth of our practice.

“ETLP, established for more than 200 years and with bases in Newport and Pontypool, continues on its steady growth plan. Jen, with her range of skills, will play an integral part in helping us to achieve the goals that we have set.”
