Muckle LLP

Firm makes eight senior promotions

Muckle LLP has strengthened its team with eight senior promotions, including three new partners.

Jess Swindells, Joanne Davison and James Armstrong have been made partner and five other solicitors have been promoted to associate or senior associate positions.

Jess joined Muckle’s banking and restructuring team in 2011 and is experienced in all aspects of non-contentious banking and finance work. Joanne, a key member of the firm’s education team, leads much of its schools and academies work and specialises in governance, legal structures and charity law. James trained at Muckle and has worked in its real estate team since he qualified in 2006.

Jason Wainwright, managing partner at Muckle LLP, said: ‘I’m delighted for Jess, Joanne and James. They are all exceptionally talented, care passionately about the region and are fiercely committed to keeping promises to Muckle’s clients.’

Muckle has also promoted Stephanie Coulson (commercial), Lisa Kelly (employment), Richard Nixon and Julie Adams (real estate) to associates. Jennifer Hirst (corporate) has been promoted to senior associate.
