Kingsley Napley has promoted Kirsty Churm and Olivia Stiles to its partnership, bringing the total number of partners at the firm to 90. The promotions span the employment and family teams and reflect the firm’s continued investment in homegrown talent.
Churm (pictured), who has been with the firm for more than 12 years, advises employers, senior employees and partners on a broad range of employment law and employee relations issues. Her practice includes complex whistleblowing and discrimination litigation, as well as disciplinary matters, restrictive covenants and negotiated exits, with a focus on professional services and regulated sectors.
Stiles trained at the firm and has over 14 years’ experience in private family law. She handles complex financial cases, nuptial agreements and children matters, alongside specialist expertise in surrogacy, fertility law and alternative routes to parenthood, often advising high-net-worth individuals and clients with international elements.
Managing partner Matt Meyer said the promotions are ‘well deserved’, adding that both lawyers ‘have each made impressive contributions to their respective practice areas’ and are ‘highly regarded by clients and colleagues alike’.
