Leading law firm Blake Morgan has announced the promotions of four of its lawyers to partner. Conor Daly, James Danks, Delme Griffiths, and Angela Mildenhall will take up their new positions from the beginning of May.
Their appointments have been made in recognition of the lawyers’ individual expertise and dedicated commitment to delivering top-quality advice and solutions to clients. Working across a range of sectors and regions, they represent the burgeoning next generation of legal talent Blake Morgan continues to nurture across its offices.
Conor Daly joined the firm in 2012 as a trainee solicitor and is a member of the commercial litigation team in London. He predominately focuses on high-value and complex commercial litigation, frequently tackling cases with an international element.
James Danks and Delme Griffiths specialise in professional regulation, and in the latest Legal 500 rankings, both were named ‘Rising Stars’. James, who is based in Reading, has been with Blake Morgan for almost a decade, and advises regulators and respondents on disciplinary proceedings, with particular experience in the healthcare sector.
In the Cardiff office, Delme has a particular expertise in the regulation of solicitors and the education, social care and healthcare sectors. He joined the firm in 2012, and also has extensive experience in public law, judicial review, and acting for clients in the charitable/not-for-profit sector.
Angela Mildenhall is a real estate expert and works within the property services group in the Thames Valley. She specialises in office, industrial and retail commercial property, with a particular expertise in the leisure industry and the commercial office market. Since joining Blake Morgan in 2019 after holding several international positions, she has been described by clients as “a strong team player who has an effortless ability to get the job done effectively”.
Kath Shimmin, Chair at Blake Morgan, said: 'We are proud and excited to be promoting these four exceptional lawyers to partners. As Blake Morgan goes from strength to strength, we know this is founded on the passion and dedication of our people, and it is a pleasure to see so many new partners rising up from within our talented ranks.
'With a combined 35 years of Blake Morgan experience behind them, Conor, James, Delme, and Angela have shown faultless dedication to their clients, and the positive feedback they receive testifies to their expert advice and abilities.'
