The Advent season is upon us.

The Advent season is upon us.

The Advent season is upon us and we are certainly experiencing an ‘Advent’ of our own in C&H. Firstly, a big welcome to Enan, our Laura O’Neill’s first child born on the 30th October. Congratulations to Mum and Dad and we are all looking forward to his first outing to our office this week – if her ‘cuddled up’ Mum can brave the elements. A second, if somewhat belated welcome to our new conveyancing secretary, Cathy McAleavey. Her smile is as wide as her experience and we hope she is as happy with us as we are with her! And we extend similar sentiments to our latest recruit, Adam Wood, who has joined us after leaving Conn and Fenton solicitors where he enjoyed a partnership. Adam attended Wallace High School before taking a first in Law from QUB where he came top in his year in Equity and Inheritance Law. It is therefore surprising, given his academic aptitude, that he is a follower of that strange game in which only one of the team is allowed to use their hands! Weird or what? However, he also enjoys rugby and is a marathon runner so we have another candidate for the Law Society Marie Curie run next year! Welcome aboard!!
