I am excited to be part of a forward-thinking and flexible business which allows me to be me, and to get the best outcomes for my clients. I’m very much looking forward to developing my legal business further as part of this growing commercial firm.’

Her appointment strengthens our existing HR and employment offer and is key to the promotion of our cross-practice capabilities in the Midlands, as well as across the UK.’
