Homecoming for expert lawyer Megan
A lawyer who has handled multimillion pound property deals for fashion giants, celebrity chefs, footballers and leading developers has joined one of Wales’s fastestgrowing legal firms.
It’s a homecoming for Llanrug girl Megan Jones, who has joined Swayne Johnson which has a chain of six offices across North Wales and Cheshire.
Welsh-speaker Megan has spent the past seven years in the Manchester offices of two of the UK’s biggest law firms, Hill Dickinson and JMW where she specialised in commercial property finance and worked on major residential and commercial developments nationwide.
The former Ysgol Brynrefail pupil said: “It was always my intention to return to North Wales and when the opportunity came to join Swayne Johnson it was too good a chance to turn down.
“Part of the motivation behind moving home was that I had been worried I might lose my Welsh, so working at a forward thinking firm which is able to provide legal services bilingually has been very rewarding.
“It’s great to be back and working with a progressive, specialist firm with such a strong presence across the region.”
Swayne Johnson Managing Director Sarah Noton said: “We’re delighted to be able to make such a high calibre appointment as we continue an expansion that has seen us grow from two offices to six in the last ten years. We cover a huge geographical area and provide a comprehensive range of services backed by real expertise. Megan will strengthen our commercial property law department and add to our all-round experience and strength.”
Megan said: “North Wales is full of thriving, innovative businesses both new and established and getting to know them and finding new ways to support and advise them from a commercial property perspective is an incredibly interesting and satisfying element of my role.”
Megan is based at the firm’s offices in Llandudno and Menai Bridge but covers the entire area of operations for Swayne Johnson.
Megan and her partner are living back in Llanrug and are enjoying getting back to rural life. She added: “It is good to be able to speak Welsh every day again and to enjoy the countryside.”
