South east law firm announces four partner promotions

Mayo Wynne Baxter have recently announced internal appointments for four new salaried partners.

Three of the firm’s new partners—Claire Busuttil, Tracy Rowden and Jessica Partridge—all work in the private client team, while Gail Waller works in the firm’s clinical negligence department.

Claire Busuttil (pictured, far right), who is based at Mayo Wynne Baxter’s Eastbourne office, trained with the firm and has worked in the private client team for several years. She said: 'I am absolutely thrilled to be made a partner at such an important time for Mayo Wynne Baxter.'

Having first joined Mayo Wynne Baxter in 1998, Tracy Rowden (pictured, centre right) is celebrating 24 years at the firm, as well as her promotion to partner. Tracy was a legal secretary in the private client team for five years before qualifying as a chartered legal executive and now specialises in elderly client affairs and probate matters.

Tracy, who is based at the firm’s Seaford office, said: 'I’m excited about this new adventure for both myself and the firm and I look forward to the next 24 years.'

Jessica Partridge’s promotion to partner comes after three and a half years at the firm, where she specialises in all aspects of private client law, from trusts and estates to capital taxation, wills, powers of attorney and court of protection work.

Jessica (pictured, far left), who is based at the firm’s Lewes office, said: 'I’m proud to start my new role as partner in the private client team, especially at such an exciting time for Mayo Wynne Baxter.'

Gail Waller (pictured, centre left) has been at Mayo Wynne Baxter since 2013 and completed her training at the firm, joining the clinical negligence department in 2017.

Gail, who is based at the firm’s Lewes office, said: 'I’m excited about the new opportunities this will present for my department and the firm as a whole.'

Dean Orgill, chief executive partner at Mayo Wynne Baxter, said: 'It is fantastic to see our existing and home-grown talent flourishing and being rewarded. These partner promotions are thoroughly deserved and I would like to congratulate each of them.'
