Cwmbran-based law firm Rubin Lewis O’Brien has made two appointments a matter of weeks after re-establishing itself as an independent business following its exit from the QS network.

Jade Hall joins as residential conveyancing solicitor and Patrick Howarth takes up the position of litigation solicitor.

Miss Hall joins Rubin Lewis O’Brien after graduating from Swansea University and qualifying as a solicitor with a local firm in 2015.

Having obtained a Philosophy Degree from Cardiff University, Mr Howarth went on to University of South Wales to obtain a Graduate Diploma in Law before returning to Cardiff to complete his LPC.

Managing partner Sam George said: “We are delighted to welcome Jade and Patrick to our practice here in Cwmbran. The experience and knowledge that both will bring to their respective teams will provide our clients with the very best service and legal advice.

“Speed of response and clear, concise advice is becoming more and more important.

“The valuable addition of both Jade and Patrick to our team will support our ongoing commitment to deliver this fast and professional level of customer service across all areas at all times. We look forward to their contribution over the coming years.”

The news of further growth is welcomed so soon after exiting the QS network.

Mr George said: “Leaving the QS network was a big decision, but one we knew would work for us. It has only been a matter of weeks and we are already seeing the practice flourish after officially retaining complete independence.”

Rubin Lewis O'Brien provides legal advice to both individuals and businesses.
