KEOGHS law firm has appointed three new partners taking the total number at the Bolton-based solicitors to 72.

It now has almost 1,200 members of staff at seven offices in Bolton, Manchester and Coventry.

Credit Hire specialist, John Gibson, is one of the new partners. He joined Keoghs relatively recently, in 2012, having spent the previous eight years working for a leading credit hire organisation.

Toby Evans is the latest appointment as partner to Keoghs’ Counter Fraud Services Division.

Mr Evans qualified as a solicitor in 2006 before rejoining the firm as an associate in 2012.

Toby’s entire practice has been in insurance fraud.
