Katie Pinnell has become a partner in the firm’s residential property team, where she will lead Harrison Drury’sregional offering and advise clients on residential property transactions.
She joins from O’Neill Patient where she worked as head of conveyancing and brings over 20 years of conveyancing experience with strong expertise in leasehold, newbuild and freehold management matters.
Meanwhile, Rebecca Parry has joined as a senior associate solicitor in the commercial property tea, moving over from Talbots Law where she worked as regional head of commercial property.
Harrison Drury opened its Stoke base at Smithfield Works, in Hanley, in November 2025 and has since moved into a larger office on the site to accommodate its growing team.
Partner Hayley Goodwin, head of the Stoke office, said: “Since opening our Stoke office, we’ve had a really positive period of growth and welcomed some exciting new additions to the team across a range of legal services. Our fast-expanding team has meant we’ve had to move to a new office in Smithfield Works within six months.
“Rebecca and Katie will add further depth to both our commercial and residential property offering, enabling clients to access high-quality specialist advice. Their arrival is another display of our ambition to grow the Stoke office and our commitment to the local business and professional community.”
Katie added: “Harrison Drury’s reputation for client service and its willingness to embrace technology really stood out to me. I’m excited to be based in Stoke and to help grow a residential property team that delivers responsive, high-quality support for clients across the region.”
