Eight new associate & senior associates at the social purpose law firm

Social purpose law firm Anthony Collins has announced eight associate and senior associate promotions spanning several sector-facing teams. 

In the property team, Cara McNeely has been promoted to senior associate. She specialises in property and land acquisitions for registered providers and charities, with a particular focus on social housing. 

In the private client team, both Lucy Bluck and Charlotte Raybould have been promoted to senior associate. Lucy is a family lawyer specialising in areas such as wills, probate, power of attorney and estates. Charlotte advises families in cases where there is a dispute over living and or contact arrangements for children. 

The fourth senior associate promotion is Lorna Kenyon-Pain in the corporate litigation team, who works with clients in the health and social care and social housing sectors, advising on regulatory and criminal investigations, health and safety matters and inquests.

The firm has also promoted four solicitors to associates: Mohamed Karim in the property team, and Matt Marsh, Rumandeep Dhariwal and Tom Corrigan in the projects team.

Matthew Wort, senior partner at Anthony Collins, said: ‘It is a privilege to work at a firm so dedicated to championing its people and these eight promotions are all very well deserved. As a B Corp accredited firm, we want to see all of our people achieve more with us than they ever thought possible. Making a substantial investment into developing our people is a key part of our ongoing strategy.’
