Jemil Visram, Hayley Anderson & Roisin Patton—Square One Law

Two promotions & a new face at Newcastle firm

Square One Law has announced the promotions of corporate lawyer, Jemil Visram, and commercial dispute resolution lawyer, Hayley Anderson, to the position of associate. 

Jemil  and Hayley have made a significant contribution to their teams and both have been involved in high profile work as the firm continues to grow at a fast pace.

The firm's employment team has also appointed Roisin Patton as an associate from Watson Burton.

After completing her LPC at Northumbria University, Roisin trained at Sintons. She is now four years qualified and has since gained a wealth of experience on the full range of employment issues from complex matters such as industrial action and trade union recognition to contentious issues involving the Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal. 

Senior partner, Ian Gilthorpe, says: “The firm has come a long way in the last two and a half years and my partners and I are delighted to be able to recognise the hard work and achievements of Hayley and Jemil as well as welcoming Roisin. We have invested in some great people and it is good to see them being able to develop their careers with us. This, of course, is only achieved by the fantastic support of our clients. 

“2014 is going to be a challenging year for many law firms, but we believe our leaner and more agile model can help us deliver our services in a more innovative way that can meet the changes of our clients’ marketplaces.“
