Firm announces raft of promotions
Surrey firm Downs Solicitors has promoted five team members to new positions within the firm.
Simone Horrobin and Tamsin Reader have both received promotions to senior associate. Simone is a commercial litigation and insolvency specialist, while Tamsin, a non-practising barrister, handles property disputes and professional negligence claims.
Ian Jones and Joanna Pashley will also move to the position of associate. Ian is a member of the firm’s commercial property team, and Joanna specialises in handling private client matters.
In addition to the promotions, Downs has also announced that partner Richard Middlehurst will take over from Andrew Christmas as head of the family department.
Chris Millar, the firm’s senior partner, commented: ‘It is necessary to see our practice constantly evolve, as the people within the firm are what truly makes it work. I offer my congratulations to all those who have received promotions—may their great work continue. I would also wish to offer my personal thanks to Andrew Christmas for having steered the family department during its growth from two fee earners in Dorking, to its current six fee earners across our three offices.’
