Forbes Solicitors

Firm announces eight promotions

Forbes Solicitors has announced eight new promotions, six of which are women. The firm has promoted Lucy Harris, Rubina Vohra, Judith Bloor and Patricia Prescott to partners from associates.

It has also confirmed that Kirsty McNulty, Laura Cieplak (nee Wilson), Darren Smith and Paul Huxley have been promoted from solicitors to associates.

Siobhan Hardy, senior partner at Forbes said: 'We are delighted to announce these appointments as providing opportunities for progression for all our employees is a key priority for our business, however it is pleasing to see the number of women promoted as this is often seen as an issue across the legal sector.

'I look forward to watching the careers of all those who have been promoted flourish even further in the future.'
