Double appointment boosts firm’s Family department

mfg Solicitors, which has offices across Worcestershire, Shropshire and in Birmingham, has appointed Sian Kenkre (pictured left) as a partner based at its Bromsgrove office, while Anna Robinson (pictured right) joins as a senior associate working from the firm’s Kidderminster headquarters.

With 22 years’ experience, Sian is a widely respected specialist in divorce, personal financial settlements and complex child-related cases, including surrogacy. She is also a trained collaborative lawyer and a member of Resolution, the community of family law professionals.

Anna qualified in 2013 and over the past 10 years has built a reputation for dealing with all aspects of family-related issues, also with a specialism in divorce matters, alongside cases relating to children. Anna is also a member of Resolution and an accredited expert in complex financial matters.

Both will work closely with partner and head of department, Katherine Tippetts.

Katherine Tippetts (pictured centre) said: “As we prepare to move into a new year, I am delighted to welcome Sian and Anna into the team.

“Both have first-rate reputations in the legal industry and are known across the West Midlands for their professionalism, compassion, and absolute focus on client satisfaction. They join us at a time when we are dealing with more family matters than ever, so it’s vital that we have the strongest team possible with a busy 2024 ahead.

“Sian and Anna are already making an impact internally and with our clients. I look forward to them contributing to our success in the months and years ahead.”
