Coventry law firm Newsome Vaughan should have justice on its side after recruiting a Judge.

Ben Judge, a qualified barrister and solicitor, has joined the Greyfriars Lane firm to work in its civil litigation team.

It is a return to home territory for Judge, who comes from the city, after 10 years working for major firms in Birmingham.

He said:

“I am delighted to be back in Coventry and the move presents a great opportunity. Newsome Vaughan is a well established and respected firm which is looking to increase its civil litigation business.

“Coventry is a major city with large and blue chip companies and we feel that there is a growth potential in the civil litigation field.

“There has traditionally been a tendency for companies to look towards Birmingham and London when dealing with major cases but Newsome Vaughan has the capability and expertise to handle these clients. It is a part of the business which is growing and my role will be to increase that volume.”

Newsome Vaughan senior partner Rupert Griffiths said that Judge had been handpicked by the firm to join its team.

“We now have a team of six working on civil litigation and we see it as a key strength of our business.

“We were aware of Ben’s reputation and his appointment will add greatly to our capabilities. He has an impressive track record in dealing with major cases.”

Newsome Vaughan was founded in 1936 and now employs around 70 staff.
