Mincoffs appoints marketing and PR manager

Newcastle-based law firm Mincoffs Solicitors has appointed Sean Raine as marketing and PR manager as it strengthens its marketing function.

Sean brings experience in marketing and communications across the built environment and recruitment sectors, with a background spanning brand development, design and campaigns for business and consumer audiences.

In his new role, he will work with teams across the firm to deliver its marketing and PR strategy, support brand development and raise the profile of its people and expertise.

He will also oversee the development of marketing content and collateral, with a focus on strengthening engagement with clients and the wider business community.

Sean said: “Mincoffs has a strong reputation in the North East, and the opportunity to build on that was a big attraction for me. 

“The firm’s heritage and recognisable brand provide a strong foundation, and I’m looking forward to helping shape how we communicate its expertise.

“There are plenty of stories to tell about the people here and the work they do. 

“I’m keen to get to know colleagues across the firm and bring those stories to a wider audience, while making sure our marketing reflects what clients value about Mincoffs.”

Sean’s appointment follows recent recognition for Mincoffs in Legal 500’s client research, which ranked it as the most highly recommended law firm in the North in July 2026.

The firm has also been ranked among the three most active legal advisers in the North East and within the UK top 20 in Experian MarketIQ’s mergers and acquisitions adviser rankings.

Matthew Flinders, commercial director at Mincoffs, added: “We are pleased to welcome Sean to the firm. 

“He brings a strong combination of marketing and communications experience, together with a creative approach and valuable insight from working across a range of sectors.

“We have experienced significant growth in recent years, and Sean’s appointment reflects our continued investment in the future of the firm. 

“As we build on this momentum, attracting high-calibre professionals is essential to supporting our ambitions and ensuring we continue to provide an outstanding service to our clients. 

“Sean brings valuable expertise and a fresh perspective, and we are delighted to have him join the team.”
