Woodfines Solicitors has expanded its crime and regulatory team in Milton Keynes with the appointment of solicitor Christopher Kenningham, reflecting growing client demand for expert legal advice in regulatory enforcement, compliance and business defence across Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire.
Christopher recently completed his two-year training contract with the firm and now joins its Criminal Defence and Regulatory Team. His new role will focus on supporting businesses and individuals facing regulatory investigations, as well as advising on proactive compliance measures designed to prevent legal exposure.
Head of the Regulatory and Dispute Resolution Team, Mike Hayward, said: “Christopher’s skills will help clients facing regulatory enforcement to navigate complex proceedings with confidence. He will also provide valuable guidance to businesses on compliance, health and safety and risk management. He joins a highly experienced team that includes Jane Anderson and Nathan Taylor-Allkins, who continue to deliver robust and discreet defence for clients across the region.”
Woodfines has seen steady growth in demand for its regulatory and criminal defence work as businesses increasingly look for specialist advice on compliance and corporate governance. The firm supports a broad range of sectors including logistics, transport, construction, hospitality and professional services, reflecting the diversity of the Milton Keynes business community.
Nathan Taylor-Allkins, who mentored Christopher during his training contract, praised his development and professionalism. “It has been a genuine pleasure to mentor Christopher and watch his progression,” he said. “His calm approach, determination to achieve the best results for clients and strong ethical standards will make him an invaluable asset to both the team and the firm.”
