Leadership strengthened across core practice areas with nine new partners

Taylor Rose has announced nine partner promotions across its teams, reflecting the firm’s continued investment in talent and growth. The promotions span family law, private client, conveyancing and central services, with three new partners from the firm’s consultancy division — highlighting its commitment to career progression for both employees and consultants. The moves follow significant growth across the group, with Taylor Rose’s parent company, AIIC Group, reporting a 469% increase in fee-earning legal consultants over the past five years.

The newly promoted partners include Amy Brazier, partner and managing conveyancing; Narin Nesari, partner in property; and Daljinder Jagdev, partner in residential conveyancing. Also promoted are Kim Vernal, partner and head of actions against the police, who has over two decades of experience in civil liberties and judicial review, and Hannah Wright, partner and head of new business, who has played a key role in driving the firm’s expansion into new markets. Hilary Soanes has also been made partner and head of legal support operations, leading the team that underpins the firm’s delivery of efficient, high-quality services.

From the consultancy division, Lucie Wright becomes partner within commercial and residential property, bringing over 23 years’ experience across conveyancing, portfolio management and development. Paul Antoniou, solicitor and partner in private client and family law, specialises in divorce, finance, and probate matters, and is a qualified notary public and Resolution-accredited specialist. Cassey-ann Sharman, licensed conveyancer and partner, joins the partner ranks in conveyancing, advising a diverse client base from first-time buyers to property investors.

Commenting on the promotions, CEO Adrian Jaggard (pictured) said the appointments were ‘a testament to both our ongoing investment in our people and the depth of expertise within our firm’. He added: ‘By elevating talent from within, we continue to strengthen our capabilities in key practice areas and expand our offering nationwide.’
