Browne Jacobson has recruited Ann Cojeen and Dominic Canning to its Manchester office.

The appointments will support the law firm’s growing health and social care practice and its service offering in the North West.

Cojeen, a commercial property lawyer, joins as an associate. She previously worked at Pinsent Masons and Hempsons Solicitors in Manchester, and has 17 years’ experience acting for public and private sector clients on a wide range of commercial property work.

Canning joins as a solicitor from Hill Dickinson’s health property team in Liverpool, where he acted for tenants and landlords including NHS bodies. He qualified in 2017.

Victoria Thourgood, partner at Browne Jacobson, who heads the firm’s national health and social care property team, commented:  “Ann and Dominic will be great additions to both our growing Manchester and national health and social care property team.

“Their expertise and skills will also complement our wider real estate practice and further enhance our offering to clients not just in the region but throughout the UK.”
