Firm celebrates internal talent with seven partner promotions in Liverpool

MSB Solicitors has announced the promotion of seven Liverpool-based lawyers to its partnership, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s growth and commitment to developing future legal leaders. The new partners represent a range of specialisms and backgrounds, with many having risen through the ranks at MSB.

Katie Camozzi, who joined the firm in 2016, is a children’s law specialist with accreditations in child abduction and honour-based abuse. Daniel Pierce, also in the family legal aid team, has led complex care proceedings and supported innovation in legal services since joining in 2020. Employment law head Steven Davies, recommended in the Legal 500, joined MSB in 2021 and advises both employers and employees.

Amy Tagoe brings over 15 years’ experience in housing litigation, while Thomas Stockton, who joined in 2008, leads on social housing disrepair and is active in LGBTQ+ inclusion. John McCreanney, a Fellow of CILEX, handles commercial litigation and property disputes with a practical approach. Tom Mealand, who joined in 2023, is known for his client-focused work in secured lending and commercial property.

Managing partner Emma Carey said: ‘I am filled with pride by the promotion of our new partners… these promotions are a celebration of talent, resilience and our shared values.’ She added: ‘To watch their growth from early career professionals into inspiring leaders has been a privilege.’
