* A charity treasure hunt will kick-off a busy programme of fundraising for Anthony Collins Solicitors.
The firm is organising a variety of charitable events this year in aid of different departmental charities as part of partner Rankeshwa Batta’s Four Cubed initiative.
Mr Batta and three of his colleagues are taking part in four marathons, four half-marathons and four 10km races in aid of Whizzkidz over a 12-month period.
The charity treasure hunt in aid of the deafblind charity Sense takes place on June 30 in and around the city centre and finishing up at Entices in Paradise Forum.
* A Midland solicitor specialising in commercial debt recovery and litigation has opened up his own specialist law practice in Cannock, hailing it as a “boom town”.
Kevin Curran, formerly with Burton and Birmingham practice Else Solicitors, has launched Curran & Co in offices at Orbital Plaza, Bridgtown, Cannock, with long-time litigation assistant Michelle Perks also joining him.
“Cannock is booming as new businesses start-up and others move here; but there are still too many companies out there that are not paying their bills fast enough; and new and small businesses suffer as a result,” said Mr Curran, who has been a solicitor for more than 20 years.
His expertise extends to acting for both small and large businesses in the Midlands and beyond, helping them to recover monies owed to them, as well as resolving commercial disputes that can sometimes arise in trading relationships.
