A raft of promotions at the regional firm

Regional law firm Muckle LLP has announced five promotions, including one partner.

Stephanie Brown has been promoted to partner, Carolyn McKay and Claire Naughten have become senior associates and Gillian Scribbins and Sarah Farish have been appointed associates.

Corporate lawyer Stephanie specialises in advising businesses on sales and acquisitions, private equity transactions, investments, corporate reorganisations, demergers, and general company law matters.

Carolyn and Claire are part of the firm’s real estate team, and Sarah and Gillian are from the banking and dispute resolution teams, respectively.

Jason Wainwright, managing partner, said: ‘As a firm, we have a strong commitment to investing in our people, and it’s a pleasure to once again be announcing such a significant list of promotions.

‘The promotions reflect the hard work, expertise and enthusiasm these lawyers have shown. Many of them have been with the firm for a number of years, and it’s a privilege to watch them craft their careers with Muckle.

‘We pride ourselves on nurturing talent from within, so recognising the commitment of homegrown talent with reward and development is very important to us at Muckle.

‘I look forward to supporting Stephanie, Carolyn, Claire, Sarah and Gillian as they continue on their individual paths as remarkable lawyers.’
