Excello Law—Janne Fitzsimmons

Employment & commercial partner joins firm in the North West

Fee-share law firm Excello Law has added to its team of lawyers in the North West. Janne Fitzsimmons brings extensive experience in employment law and further strengthens Excello Law’s significant presence in the region.

Janne began her legal career with a prestigious training contract at Olswang in London. With more than 20 years’ experience, she has worked both in private practice and in-house roles, including positions at prominent firms such as DWF, Hill Dickinson and EY Riverview Law.

Commenting on her decision to join the firm, Janne said: ‘I recognised a decade ago that the legal profession was evolving towards alternative business models. Joining Excello Law as a fee share lawyer aligns perfectly with this vision. The firm’s commitment to excellence and integrity, coupled with its supportive infrastructure, makes it an ideal fit for me. I am particularly impressed by the autonomy and flexibility offered, allowing me to balance my career as a partner while prioritising my role as a hands-on mother to my three daughters.’

Julie Mogan, regional director for Excello Law in the North West, expressed her enthusiasm for Janne’s arrival, stating: ‘We are delighted to welcome Janne to our team. Her wealth of experience and expertise will greatly benefit our clients. Janne’s arrival further solidifies Excello Law’s commitment to attracting top legal talent from across the UK and underscores our dedication to building upon an already strong presence in the North West.’
