Chester firm Aaron & Partners has promoted six staff members across its two offices, including the naming of three additional partners.

In the Chester office, Jamie Hawley has been appointed to partner in the corporate and commercial team, while in Shrewsbury, family specialist Sandy Edwards (pictured, right) and wills, trusts and tax expert Lynda Richards (left) will also join the partnership.

Jamie commented: ‘It’s a huge honour to work at Aaron & Partners and to work with such a diverse and interesting range of clients. We have a fantastic team at the firm and, as partner, I look forward to playing a more influential role in what I know is going to be an exciting future.’

The Chester office has also seen three promotions to senior associate, of Aaron Vandermark in the corporate and commercial team, Adam Haines in employment law, and Simon Mawdsley in the family department.

Aaron & Partners’ senior partner Simon Edwards said: ‘It has been a hugely successful twelve months for our teams across all offices and these six individuals have played key roles in that. We are passionate about giving our own people the chance to develop within our firm, as we believe attracting and retaining the very best people is the best way to grow.’
