EAST Anglian law firm Prettys has welcomed three new recruits to its Ipswich office.

Law graduate Vanessa Gardezi is set to qualify into development and residential property this autumn after completing her training contract with Prettys.

Kathie Murray-Lacey has qualified into French property. Both trained at the firm, which has offices in Ipswich and Chelmsford.

Ms Murray-Lacey is a solicitor and has specialised in French law since joining the firm in May 1999. She has a degree in French and Italian and a post-graduate diploma in law.

They are joined by Ipswich-born solicitor Keith Andrews, who returns to his home town after qualifying in a Felixstowe law firm. He has joined the growing commercial property team to work on a broad range of property transaction including landlord and tenant work.

Prettys property partner David Clarke welcomed the new members of staff, saying they would add strength to their experienced and effective teams.
