The head of a respected Lichfield family law firm is to help the next generation of budding lawyers to follow in his footsteps after taking up a prestigious university position.
Mark Adcock, a senior director at Adcocks Solicitors in Lombard Street, has revealed that he’s accepted an appointment to be a visiting lecturer at Birmingham’s University of Law.
An honoured Mark, who heads up the 112-year-old law firm and has been a practising solicitor and partner in the award-winning niche practice for the last 37 years, said he was delighted and looking forward to lecturing at such a prestigious and innovative university.
“Wonderful opportunity” for lawyer who boasts extensive experience in niche law
Mark, who is the grandson of Adcock’s founder and works alongside his son and daughter, directors Hedley Adcock and Frances Di Pierri, is highly respected in the specialist areas of land law, equity and trusts, professional practice and leasehold reform law.
It’s his experience in these areas that have also seen him working with the Law Commission, a statutory independent body advising the Government on areas of law for possible reform and more recently providing expert opinion on matters of professional conduct for the professions Regulator.
