Burnetts Strengthens Newcastle Corporate Team with New Partner Appointment

Burnetts, one of the largest law firms in the North, has further strengthened its growing Newcastle presence with the appointment of experienced Corporate Partner, Chris Morgan.

Chris joins Burnetts’ established Corporate M&A team, bringing a wealth of experience across the full range of Corporate law matters.  He regularly advises businesses on acquisitions and disposals, company reorganisations and shareholder and partnership arrangements.

Having acted on multi-million-pound transactions for a diverse client base, Chris has extensive experience working with owner-managed SMEs as well as large companies across sectors including professional services, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, leisure and tourism.

Over the past decade, Chris has built a strong reputation as a trusted adviser to his clients, and in his spare time has also lectured in commercial law at Northumbria University.  Chris is joined at Burnetts by Paralegal Pamela Thompson, with whom he has worked alongside for several years.

Michael Walby, Partner and Head of Corporate at Burnetts, said:
“Burnetts has quickly established itself as one of the go-to Corporate teams in Newcastle for SMEs and larger businesses.  Our ambition is to build further on this over the next 12 months, and Chris and Pamela will play a key role in that growth. We are very excited about the opportunities ahead in Newcastle and the wider North East.”

Chris Morgan added:
“I am delighted to be joining Burnetts during such an exciting time for the firm. The Corporate team has a strong reputation across the region for high-quality work advising on M&A transactions, which was a key factor in my decision to join. From the outset, I was impressed by the culture of the team which is collaborative, ambitious and highly client focused. I am looking forward to working with my new colleagues to continue to develop our Corporate offering in Newcastle.”
