Napthens appoints new head of Manchester office

North West law firm Napthens has strengthened its Manchester presence with the appointment of Krista Powell as head of its newly opened city office.

Krista, a well-known real estate solicitor with more than twenty years’ experience in non-contentious commercial property, joins from Brabners. 

She has built a strong reputation across the region for advising on complex property matters.

In her new role, Krista will lead Napthens’ Manchester office, which launched in September, and will focus on building a team that supports the firm’s wider growth plans across the city and beyond.

Kristal, who has also worked with Fieldfisher and Gateley, said: “Napthens’ recent growth and future plans to expand considerably across the city and north west region were a major reason for me joining the firm.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for me to grow the firm’s presence in Manchester and build a team of people who will serve our clients with diligence, by delivering innovative solutions to support the growth of business and contribute to the regional economy.

“I’ve been really impressed by how Napthens has grown in recent years, clearly demonstrating how the people and collaborative relationships they build give the firm a unique offering.”

Stephen Faulkner, managing director at Napthens, added: “Krista’s appointment marks a significant step in our Manchester journey, as we continue to develop our presence in the city and region.

“She brings an exceptional background in commercial property law and is a key part of our growth strategy building our presence in Manchester and creating a team that reflects the Napthens values. 

"This appointment signals another major step forward in our commitment to providing clients with a first-class team to support their objectives and boosting the firm’s capability and presence in one of the UK’s most vibrant cities.”
