Investment for growth …
To support its expansion strategy, the firm has also made a significant investment into the purchase and ongoing refurbishment of new premises at Oakwater Point in Cheadle. Encompassing over 11,500 square feet, the self-contained building provides the firm with a modern environment and improved conference and training facilities, which have already been utilised by Brake – the Road Safety Charity – to host a seminar for those who provide support to suddenly bereaved people.

Sabrina will also be involved in the firm’s business development and is keen to build links with medical professionals who support our ethos of putting our clients first.
Also joining the team at CFG Law is Associate Serious Injury Solicitor Mark Ellis. Mark joins us from SGI Legal in Liverpool where he has worked in the field of personal injury since 2002, representing seriously injured clients since 2009. With a particular interest in traumatic brain injury, including new investigative options for diagnosing brain injury in cases of “subtle” traumatic brain injury, as well as chronic pain cases, Mark is keen to build further links with medical professionals who offer expert assessment and treatment for his clients.
The legal team has been furthered strengthened by the addition of three paralegals – Sarah Williams, a Law graduate from Aberystwyth University, who completed the Legal Practice Course at the University of Law, Chester; Sheyma Alwail, who has a Degree in International Law from the University of Hull and who completed her Legal Practice Course at BPP Law School, Manchester; and Victoria McClean, a Law graduate for The University of Salford. She has also completed her Legal Practice Course at the University of Law, Manchester.
To assist with the plans for growth, the firm has also welcomed Sarah Hampson, who joins the Marketing and Business Development Team, Elaine Jones who will be supporting the serious injury team as a secretary and Nicky O’Loughlin who joins the Finance department.
The firm has ambitious plans for growth and is excited to welcome the new staff members who add considerably to the current expertise in the business.
CFG Law’s Managing Director Alastair Fernie said,
“CFG Law is building on the success of Freeclaim Solicitors and I am thrilled by the way our new brand is taking shape. The people behind CFG Law are central to its success – each individual member of staff embraces the ethos of putting the needs and wellbeing of our clients at the heart of everything we do. Therefore it is important that we recruit the right people, with the right talents for our firm. We have made some great new additions to our team here and I am confident that the firm will continue to grow even stronger because of this.”
