SOLICITORS Clough & Willis are continuing to expand in Bury with a new partner joining the firm.

Tim Gray becomes the second partner in the litigation department, headed by Chris Macwilliam. After training in Manchester, he came to the firm in 1994 as a newly qualified solicitor.

Tim says: "It was a great change coming to work in a town like Bury which is friendly and offers a good quality of life.

"The business life provides Clough & Willis with a solid base of good commercial work - and the efficient local court is a great advantage for local lawyers."

Tim is helping Clough & Willis to increase their substantial company client base. He acts for a number of local businesses and plcs.

He follows fellow lawyer Shefali Talukdar, newly elected president of Bury Law Society, into the partnership.
