Firm strengthens leadership with first director appointments to the board since 2016

Larcomes Legal has appointed three new directors to its board, marking its first leadership promotions in nearly a decade. Chloe Saunders (pictured), a specialist in private client law, and Jennie Swaby, a family law solicitor, have been named full directors, while compliance officer for finance and administration (COFA) Natalie Courage joins as a non-lawyer director. ‘Each new director will add considerably to the success of the firm,’ says managing director Richard Hopgood.

With a legacy spanning over a century, Larcomes continues to serve Portsmouth and Hampshire, offering expert legal advice in Family and Matrimonial Law alongside a broad range of specialist areas. The firm remains committed to providing outstanding client service while actively contributing to its local community.

Hopgood highlights the strategic importance of these appointments, reinforcing Larcomes’ dedication to growth and excellence. ‘We are delighted to have Chloe, Jennie, and Natalie join the Board, adding their qualities and leadership skills to the running and direction of the practice,’ he says. The new appointments strengthen the firm's ability to support clients across its Portsmouth and Waterlooville offices.
