Commercial solicitors elects managing partner
The Partners of law firm Steele Raymond LLP have recently elected Jennifer Rogerson to the role of Managing Partner.
Jennifer’s election to managing partner comes after six years with the firm, the previous four of which she has been a key member of the firm’s management board. Prior to joining Steele Raymond, Jennifer gained significant experience working at both regional and national law firms.
Throughout her time at Steele Raymond, Jennifer has been instrumental in a number of landmark projects, including the creation of the firm’s award-winning trainee recruitment programme. The programme continues to nurture and develop high-quality solicitors, many of whom have been retained post-qualification.
Jennifer takes over the Managing Partner role from Peter Rolph who has held the position for over 10 years. Commercial litigation and construction specialist Peter will continue to head up the Dispute Resolution Team.
Speaking following her election to Managing Partner, Jennifer said: 'It is an absolute privilege to have been elected by my fellow Partners to the position of Managing Partner. I want to say a special thank you to Peter who has dedicated himself to the role for many years and who will continue to play a significant part in the firm moving forward. I am excited to work alongside my fellow Partners in delivering the vision and strategy for the firm in its specialist markets.'
Peter commented: 'I have been very proud to have managed the firm for many years during a significant period of growth. Now is an exciting time for Jennifer and the newly configured Board to take forward the management of the firm as we look forward to a further dynamic period in the firm’s development.'
Managing Partner and Chairman, Tim Stone added: 'My personal thanks to Peter for an incredible amount of hard work, dedication and commitment during his many years as the firm’s Managing Partner. I look forward to working with and supporting Jennifer and the new Board as the firm moves into another exciting phase of its strategic growth and development.'
