Freeths continues to expand corporate offering in the East Midlands

National law firm Freeths has appointed Corporate Director Hannah Tessyman to further grow and expand the practice across the East Midlands. She joins from Knights.

Experienced in the sector, Hannah has over ten years’ experience with a particular focus on M&A and complex corporate reorganisations. Her clientele ranges from local and regional businesses, to large national corporates.

Hannah’s appointment comes just weeks after Corporate Partner Martin Smith joined the firm to bolster the practice in the region. Hannah’s arrival is one of several significant senior hires for the corporate team over recent months, with more to follow in the coming months.

In her new role at Freeths, Hannah will work alongside Martin and the national team to drive forward the firm’s corporate presence in the East Midlands.

Commenting on the appointment, Martin Smith, said: “We’re delighted to have Hannah on board as we continue to grow. I’ve worked with Hannah for many years and her ability to deliver a quality service for clients is second to none. It’s an exciting time for the Freeths East Midlands corporate team.”

Hannah Tessyman added: “It’s a really exciting time to be joining Freeths as the firm continues on an upward growth trajectory. I was very attracted by how clearly the corporate practice is thriving despite recent and current economic challenges, together with the long-established strength of the firm’s reputation for delivering a quality service to its clients. I am delighted to continue doing that whilst growing our corporate offering in the East Midlands.”
