Midlands law firm mfg Solicitors has announced the appointment of partner Katherine Tippetts as the new head of its Family division.
Katherine (pictured left), who specialises in a range of family-related legal matters, takes over from widely respected partner Claire Backler (pictured right), who steps down from the leadership role after 11 years.
Based at the firm’s Kidderminster office, Katherine joined mfg Solicitors in 2010 and has gone on to play a key role in the substantial growth of mfg’s Family team.
Katherine Tippetts said: “My aim is to ensure we continue to offer a consistently exceptional service for our clients as more people look to us to handle what are always complex, emotional and extremely personal issues. That needs us to maintain the high standards we have set for ourselves and continue to provide the best possible advice to clients.”
Clare Backler added: “Katherine is perfectly placed to lead the team into its next phase as we take steps to grow even further across the region in the years ahead.”
