Forbes Solicitors—four partner promotions

Forbes Solicitors has recently announced the promotion of four new partners.

Jenny Burke and Nick Hodgson become partners in Forbes’ corporate and restructuring team, while Gemma Duxbury in the governance, procurement and information team, and Craig MacKenzie in the crime team, have also become partners.

Jenny Burke (pictured, centre right) has played a key role in the development of the firm’s Greater Manchester strategy, whilst maintaining an impressive cohort of clients and introducers, as well as leading some of the team’s largest transactions.

Nick Hodgson’s (pictured far right) promotion to partner follows his strong management of a portfolio of clients, leadership on significant deals and a lead role in the development and training of all corporate team members.

Gemma Duxbury (pictured, far left) has been instrumental in helping public sector organisations to address changing procurement regulations, supporting local authority schools to navigate the process of academisation and managing public contracts, as well as working closely with private sector businesses to manage data protection and governance structures amidst growing remote working trends.

In addition to becoming a partner, Craig MacKenzie (pictured, centre left) has also been made head of the crime department’s High-Profile and Private Crime Division. Craig, a specialist in regulatory crime, is a Higher Court Advocate with rights of audience in all criminal courts and will draw on his experience and network of national connections to expand the division going forwards.
