Freeths joins East Midlands Chamber as Strategic Partner

Freeths LLP, a top 50 national law firm with a strong East Midlands presence, has become a strategic partner of East Midlands Chamber.

The full-service commercial law firm - which has a growing team of 950 people across 12 offices, including in Derby, Leicester and Nottingham - believes the alliance will help enhance the work it has already done in driving the region's economic expansion. Its partnership with the Chamber involves co-hosting president's dinners and providing lawyers to offer support and advice to members at sector-based forums and conferences. Mukesh Patel, Leicester managing partner at Freeths, said: “Freeths LLP is delighted to have become a strategic partner of East Midlands Chamber. The Chamber represents a region which is an economic powerhouse - one that is set to continue its growth with the recent confirmation of East Midlands Freeport, the UK's only inland freeport. Coupled with other recent developments such as the opening of Space Park Leicester, there are plenty of opportunities to play an enhanced role in the region's growth. As a national firm, we have offices across each of the three counties, and we look forward to working with the Chamber and wider membership base in driving the economic expansion of the region, as well as being involved in the narrative for growth.” East Midlands Chamber chief executive Scott Knowles said: “Freeths has a fantastic history, with a stellar list of clients and is one of the country's fastest-growing law firms. With a strong presence in each of our three counties, it recognises the huge potential of the East Midlands and we look forward to working closely together in advancing our region's economic prospects.” Freeths joins East Midlands Chamber as strategic partner
