Harrison Drury boosts litigation team

Lancashire-based law firm Harrison Drury has expanded its commercial and property litigation department after appointing a new specialist solicitor.

Colin Fenny has joined the firm as an associate where he will act for owner-managed businesses and larger commercial organisations at the firm’s offices in Preston and Garstang.

The 34-year-old joined from Brabners Chaffe Street’s Preston office where he worked in a similar role for almost six years.

Colin, who is originally from Newcastle but now lives in Southport, said: “Harrison Drury is a well-respected firm and I am looking forward to the challenge of developing the commercial and property litigation team, bringing new clients on board and helping to maintain the firm’s growth.”

The father-of-two graduated in law and accountancy from Manchester University before spending six years at Royal Mail Group Plc Legal Services where he trained and qualified as a solicitor in its commercial litigation department.

Colin, who also plays for New Victoria Cricket Club in his spare time, has extensive experience of acting on behalf of both claimants and defendants in a wide range of high value and complex commercial cases including breach of contract and negligence claims, partnership and shareholder disputes, and construction, intellectual property and insolvency claims. He also acts for both landlords and tenants on commercial property matters as well as on a wide variety of real property disputes ranging from adverse possession to boundary disputes.

John Chesworth, Harrison Drury’s managing partner, added: “Colin’s appointment is the latest in a long line of new staff to join Harrison Drury who will increase our specialist offering to clients and enhance our high quality service.

“He brings a wealth of experience in commercial and property litigation and I’m sure he will become an invaluable advisor to our clients.”
