She has also worked as an in-house property lawyer at McLean Homes.She has previously worked with Swindon-based Hoffman Male’s principal Mary Hoffman at a firm of Swindon solicitors.
Yvette, who also specialises in wills and probate, said: “I was looking for a new challenge and had thought about setting up my own business.
“Then Mary offered me this opportunity and I was delighted to accept. I really like the way Hoffman Male cares for its clients and looks after them, and I am enjoying working with Mary again.”
Mary added: “I was looking for the right person to join the team and to head up our new Bristol office. When I found out Yvette was interested in becoming a partner it all fitted into place and I am delighted to be working with her again.”
