Peter Hill moves into MFG agricultural division

Peter Hill, a long-time partner in MFG Solicitors’ residential conveyancing division, is moving to work in Worcester to strengthen the firm’s agricultural and conveyancing teams.

He has been a partner at MFG for more than 32 years, having worked for the firm since 1967.

Iain Morrison, office partner at MFG in Worcester, said: “Peter’s move comes at a time of ongoing growth in the firm in several areas. We are delighted Peter is coming here. He will contribute a detailed knowledge and understanding of all types of conveyancing law issues.

“He will also provide conveyancing advice to the full range of MFG clients covering topics such as residential acquisitions and disposals, commercial contracts and even agricultural issues.

“He specialises in the residential sector but his vast experience extends to include private client and charity work.”

Mr Hill said: “I am delighted because the move offers me a fresh set of challenges in a long career with the firm at a most exciting time with MFG going from strength to strength.”

Mr Hill is a member of the Law Society and the Malvern Hills District Council Standards Committee.

MFG is pulling its Wyre Forest work together at the firm’s Kidderminster office.

Esther Withers, personnel and quality director for MFG at Kidderminster, said: “Our Kidderminster office at Carlton House is a major hub for a wide diversity of the firm’s work, with seven partners, five solicitors and eight fee-earners based here.

“We have teams of specialists here in the fields of family law, commercial property, civil litigation, and residential conveyancing.”
