A Bradford law firm has teamed up with one of motorcycle racing's brightest stars for a new sponsorship deal.

Solicitors Last Cawthra Feather are supporting ten times British 125cc champion, Steve Patrickson, from Baildon, throughout the 2001 racing season.

Mr Patrickson, currently fourth in this year's championship, will also be able to call on the company for help with any legal wrangles that arise.

He said: "The support we receive form sponsors like Last Cawthra Feather is invaluable, and helps us to update and service the bike and fund travelling."

Neil Shaw, partner with the company, which also has offices in Shipley and Ilkley, said: "We're delighted to be supporting such a talented local sportsman.

"Our personal injury team includes many motor sport enthusiasts who have an interest in motorcycling on a personal and professional basis."
