LAWYER William Ham has joined Waldrons Solicitors at its headquarters in Sidbury, Worcester.

“I’m delighted to be back in Worcestershire, in a county very close to my heart as I spent almost a decade here working in Evesham,” said Mr Ham,who until recently had been employed at a Coventry law firm. “Worcester is a wonderful and beautiful old city, which I’ve always enjoyed visiting, and to be actually here working at Waldrons is exciting for me."

A qualified lawyer for seven years he is very much a family man away from the rigours of work, living with his partner, daughter, and step daughter.

Mr Ham, who knows the courts in the county well from his previous time in the area will be working in the family law team at Waldrons, where he will be specialising in divorce, separation, finances and disputes regarding children.

John Roberts, senior partner at Waldrons, added: "William is an outstanding solicitor, with an excellent pedigree in family law and we are sure he will play a great part in our future in Worcester, and become a very well-known member of the legal profession here."
