Boutique announces triple promotion to partner

Cheshire boutique Maguire Family Law has announced a triple promotion for three of its senior associates—Lisa Brown (right), Denise Moran (left) and Jennifer Curtis (centre)—who will all be moving to partner.

The firm’s managing partner, James Maguire, said: ‘I’m very happy to be announcing the promotions of Lisa, Denise and Jennifer to partner. Their individual and collective contributions cannot be underestimated and I’m pleased that they have all agreed to help Maguire Family Law’s management team push for further growth over the next few months and beyond.

‘Not only do they all work extremely hard, but our new partners are held in very high regard by our clients. Family law matters require sensitivity and empathy, and whilst they bring their own personalities to each matter, Lisa, Denise and Jennifer understand exactly what is needed during an often tough time in our clients’ lives.’

Newly promoted partner Jennifer Curtis added: ‘It is wonderful for the three of us to have had our hard work recognised and rewarded, and it is exciting to be able to support the business as it continues to expand. 2018 has been a great year so far, and we are all looking forward to settling into our new roles as we prepare for a busy 2019.’
