Business Legal Services Growth Continues With Latest Appointment

The Sheffield office of national law firm Irwin Mitchell has further boosted its commercial and transactions expertise after appointing associate solicitor Mark Evans.

Joining the team from Nabarro, Mark specialises in advising on all aspects of commercial contracts.

His specialist areas of expertise include major outsourcing contracts, including in the financial services public and third sectors, and collaboration agreements, working on IT and technology contracts with organisations in the technology and biotech sector, as well as advising on competition and procurement.

Mark’s appointment sees him follow in the footsteps of corporate partner Andrea Cropley, who also made the switch from Nabarro to Irwin Mitchell just over 12 months ago. Andrea now heads up Irwin Mitchell’s corporate team across the North of England.

Discussing his move to the firm, Mark said: “I’m joining the Business Legal Services division of Irwin Mitchell at an exciting time, following its high-profile growth in recent years with the appointments of the likes of Paul Firth and Andrea Cropley.

“Irwin Mitchell is not just Sheffield’s largest law firm and home to the city’s leading commercial law team, but also an innovative organisation which has positioned itself to take advantage of the changing legal environment.

“There is real growth, enthusiasm and momentum with the firm right now and I have joined to help build this further over the coming months and years.”
