Katy Parkinson has joined after more than a decade with some of the best known legal practices in Lancashire.
Co-founder and chief executive, Karen Bexley, said Parkinson's arrival followed the busiest year for Bexley Beaumont's employment specialists since the firm opened its doors.
She added that demand for its services was being driven by an "intense period of change and challenge" facing employers nationwide.
"Katy brings more of the commercial insight and experience which has already proven to be of such benefit to businesses in all sectors and of all sizes.
"Companies currently find themselves confronting not just economic pressures but rapidly evolving legal responsibilities too.
"The continued roll-out of changes heralded by the Employment Rights Act, for instance, means that bosses need the kind of legal support which meets their wider commercial objectives.
"What is more, the advice that Katy and her colleagues are able to offer goes far beyond business restructuring, redundancy or other workplace and HR disputes.
"Due to the way in which Bexley Beaumont functions and how closely our lawyers collaborate, business owners can easily access a much broader and very authoritative set of skills relating to the formation, dissolution or expansion of companies than traditional law firm models can offer."
Prior to joining Bexley Beaumont, Katy Parkinson worked with a succession of law firms in Blackburn, Preston and Chorley.
