Gordon Richard Dean

Gordon Richard Dean

Liberal Democrats candidate for Wensum

Liberal Democrats

Having gone from studying Law at the University of East Anglia to training at a Norwich City firm and rising to partner level, before founding Gordon Dean Solicitors, my personal and professional life has been consistently intertwined with Norwich. With an office on Princes Street and a home near the city centre I have enormous pride, in my family, my staff and my business, comparison to which, gives some humility. I have previously been a County Councillor and am on board of Norfolk Community Law Service (NCLS), which provides free advice on employment, family, debt, housing and discrimination law. Passionately opposed to Brexit and Homelessness.
