A well known partner at a Peterborou­gh law firm is to retire after a 45-year long career.

Tim Thompson, senior partner at Hegarty Solicitors, in Broadway, Peterborou­gh, and which also has offices in Stamford and Oakham, is set to retire this month.

Tim joined the firm in 1977 and became a partner in 1979.

During his career, he has dealt with a range of legal areas including criminal defence and prosecutio­ns, residentia­l and commercial property transactio­ns and most recently employment law.

Well-known and respected among the Peterborou­gh business community, assisting HR teams and employers navigate the complex world of employment law, Tim is known for his helpful, friendly and proactive approach.

Throughout his career Tim has been a regular speaker at employment law seminars, offering advice to HR profession­als throughout the local area.

He said: “I have enjoyed seeing the firm expand over the years, from a small office in Peterborou­gh with a handful of staff, to now operating from branches across the region with offices in Peterborou­gh, Stamford and Oakham.

“We have a dynamic team who are committed to delivering exceptiona­l service to clients, and with the developmen­t of new talent across the business, I am confident the firm will continue to go from strength to strength.”

Martin Bloom, who succeeds Tim as senior partner, said: “I have had the pleasure ofworkingc­loselywith­Timfor more than 40 years, and on behalf of all at Hegarty Solicitors would like to wish Tim an enjoyablea­ndhappyret­irement.”
