Sydney Mitchell LLP has recently announced seven senior promotions; Shelley Collingbourne, Emma-Louise Hewitt, Shilpa Unarkat and Claire Cooper have been promoted to partners; Emma Gray and Marta Konieczna to Associate and Charlotte Jones to Senior Solicitor.
Emma Gray (pictured, third from the right) is a family law solicitor who trained with the firm and is a compassionate and highly skilled solicitor in her field.
Marta Konieczna (pictured, third from the left) is a conveyancing solicitor who has built up a loyal following of clients and referrers such that the firm have recently expanded the conveyancing team at their Shirley office again.
Charlotte Jones (pictured, second from the right), Senior Solicitor took a very different path to becoming a solicitor, using the EMA route. She has excelled at every stage and her clients value her skills as a private client specialist.
Emma-Louise Hewitt (pictured, second from the left) heads the employment team and joined the firm in 2018. She has doubled the turnover in that team since she arrived and has been recognised as a rising star in the Legal 500.
Shilpa Unarkat (pictured, far left) has rebuilt the commercial property department in Shirley and developed her own network of clients and is now working on developing and expanding the team further.
Claire Cooper (pictured, far right) has picked up the reins in the Birmingham office from Fahmida Ismail who has now retired from the firm. Claire will be continuing to build the commercial property team in the City.
And finally, Shelley Collingbourne (pictured centre) leads the private client team at the Sheldon office. She has steadily grown through the ranks, having trained at Sydney Mitchell straight from school and has reached the ultimate goal with her promotion to partner.
Karen Moores, Senior Partner, Sydney Mitchell LLP, commented: 'We are so proud of everyone’s achievements and commitment to both the firm and its clients, always going above and beyond. Many congratulations to everyone on their well-deserved promotion; we look forward to a highly successful future for Sydney Mitchell and all of our colleagues.'
