Geldards rarely makes a lateral partner hire, preferring to grow the partnership organically, albeit at a slow pace. Despite this strategy, the firm actively recruits at associate level. In 2006-07 Geldards boosted its commercial property team in Nottingham with the hire of six solicitors from Eversheds, Freeth Cartwright and Wragge & Co.
