Blackhurst Budd Solicitors is delighted to announce the appointment of Tom Fielding and Jenny McPhee as Directors, further strengthening the leadership team of the Blackpool-based law firm.
Tom Fielding joined Blackhurst Budd in 2018 and qualified as a solicitor in 2021. He is a key member of the Commercial Department, specialising in commercial property transactions, acquisitions, disposals, and leases. Tom has acted for a wide range of businesses and investors across the North West, providing practical and commercially focused advice.
"I’m thrilled to be taking on this new role as Director," said Tom Fielding. "Blackhurst Budd has such a strong reputation and history in the local community, and I look forward to helping the firm continue to grow and provide excellent service to our clients."
Jenny McPhee joined Blackhurst Budd in January 2023 and qualified as a solicitor in 2016. She works in the Residential Conveyancing Department, dealing with all aspects of property transactions including sales, purchases, remortgages and transfers of equity. Jenny has developed an excellent reputation locally for her approachable manner and attention to detail, guiding clients through what can often be a stressful process with clarity and reassurance.
"It’s an honour to be appointed as a Director," said Jenny McPhee. "I’m proud to be part of a firm that values its people and its clients equally, and I’m looking forward to contributing to the continued success and growth of Blackhurst Budd."
Blackhurst Budd Solicitors was created in 2009 following the merger of three long-standing and respected Blackpool practices: Blackhursts LLP, John Budd & Co, and LSC Solicitors. Later that same year, Coope, Purvis and Taylor also joined the combined entity, further strengthening the firm’s presence across the Fylde Coast.
Since then, Blackhurst Budd has developed into a full-service law firm, offering advice and representation to individuals, families and businesses. The firm is widely recognised for its client-focused approach, community engagement and commitment to developing its people.
Warren Spencer, Managing Partner at Blackhurst Budd, said:
"Both Jenny and Tom have made significant contributions to the firm, and their appointments as Directors are richly deserved. Tom’s expertise in commercial property and Jenny’s experience in residential conveyancing reflect the strength and depth of our team. Their progression demonstrates our commitment to developing our people and ensuring we continue to provide first-class legal services to our clients."
With these appointments, Blackhurst Budd continues to build on its strong heritage and reputation as a trusted and forward-thinking law firm.
