Partner promotion for litigation expert

Commercial litigation specialist Sam Pedley has been promoted to the position of partner at mfg Solicitors after joining as a trainee in 2007.

An expert in commercial dispute resolution, insolvency, intellectual property and contractual disputes, Sam will continue to work closely with partner Tom Esler and take on a wider strategic management role within the firm.

Tom Esler, partner at mfg Solicitors, added: ‘Sam has made an enormous contribution to the success of the firm from the very first day he arrived as a trainee.

‘Quite rightly he is seen as one of the region’s stars of tomorrow in the litigation field. He has a client base of businesses and individuals who put their trust in him for his meticulousness and professionalism.

‘His promotion to partner is hugely deserved, as is his rare standing as one of the youngest partners in the firm’s 460-year history. I look forward to him making an even bigger contribution in the years ahead.’
