New Partner brings his experience to Wilkin Chapman

Highly experienced lawyer Ed Capes is delighted to have re-joined Wilkin Chapman solicitors as a Partner within Lincoln’s Corporate & Commercial team.

For Ed it is a welcome return to the firm where he successfully completed his training contract some 20 years ago. Having obtained degrees in English Law (University of Northumbria) and French Law (Orléans University), Ed first joined Wilkin Chapman at its then offices in Bank Street, Lincoln in 2001.

And he could not be more pleased to be reunited with the team led by Partner Russell Eke: “It is wonderful to be returning and a great opportunity to join Russell and the team. There is such breadth and depth in Corporate & Commercial, and across the firm generally,” said Ed.

Born and raised in Lincolnshire, Ed’s early years saw him as a boarder at the then Lincoln Cathedral School before his education took him to the West Midlands and on to universities in the North East and France.

His heart however remained in his home county and he returned to Lincoln where he competed his training with Wilkin Chapman before experiencing new opportunities both within Lincoln, and in Nottingham where he most recently worked for a large national firm.

Those ventures have now brought him back to his inaugural firm in the city where he and his family have always lived. During his years working in the region, Ed has built up significant experience and has witnessed the rise, and rise, of Lincoln as a burgeoning commercial hub.
