  • Joanne Jefferies, who focuses on workplace illness in London.
  • Jenny Arrowsmith, an employment expert who is based in the Leeds office.

Irwin Mitchell’s chief executive, Andrew Tucker, said: ‘We are always proud to recognise the hard work and dedication that our people put into making the Irwin Mitchell Group successful. Promotion to partner is a great achievement and I congratulate all of the new partners who thoroughly deserve their promotion.

‘It’s very positive to see legal experts promoted from across all three of our main divisions; Personal Injury, Private Wealth and Business Legal Services as we all work very closely as one team to ensure our clients receive the best possible service.’
