Auctioneer bolsters legal team

Auction house, John Pye & Sons Ltd, has boosted its in-house legal team with the appointment of Claire West as legal counsel. The appointment follows a period of sustained growth for the business and comes as it looks to realise its ambitious expansion plans.

Claire will be based at the firm’s Nottingham head office, reporting to Rosalind Keen, head of legal, who joined the business in 2020 in a newly created role to enhance the firm’s in-house legal capabilities, particularly in tendering for government related work.

In her new post, Claire will support the legal requirements across the whole business, focusing on commercial law. She will provide clarity on contracts and terms governing relationships between the business, its clients and customers. She will also be responsible for reviewing and negotiating contracts and improving terms and conditions.

Claire brings 25 years’ experience to the business, having trained at a national law firm before working in-house and then joining Nottingham Trent Law School as a commercial law lecturer.

Speaking about her appointment, Claire said: “It’s great to be joining the John Pye team. The business is going from strength-to-strength and I’m looking forward to leveraging my legal experience to help take on some of the legal workload across all parts of the business.”

Rosalind Keen, head of legal at John Pye, said: “We’re extremely pleased to welcome Claire on board. Having a lawyer of her calibre supporting the team will help strengthen our partnerships and improve operations so we are primed to meet our targets.

“It’s an exciting time for the business and we’re looking forward to Claire joining us on the journey.”
