Double promotion sees two join the partnership

London firm Russell-Cooke has announced the promotion of two senior associates, Elliot Elsey and Michael Stacey, to the partnership. Their promotions bring the total number of partners at the firm to 61.

Elliot has been with the firm since 2007 when he joined as a trainee. He focuses his practice on fraud and asset tracing, professional negligence claims and commercial corporate disputes.

Michael trained at Russell-Cooke following eight years at the Ministry of Justice and Legal Services Board, and qualified as a solicitor in March 2013. Part of the litigation team, he has particular expertise in regulatory and public law.

Senior partner John Gould commented: ‘We are delighted to be promoting two new partners within our litigation team. Contentious work continues to be core to the service we offer our clients and is very important to us as a business. We have a strong pedigree with excellent practitioners working across the spectrum of litigation work for businesses, regulators, individuals and charities. These partner promotions underline our commitment to growth and succession within the team.

‘We congratulate Elliot and Michael and thank them for their ongoing contribution to the continuing success of Russell-Cooke.’
