Thrings promotes four to the partnership

Law firm Thrings has appointed four partners and promoted five other lawyers as it continues its commitment to nurturing talent across the firm.

Three senior associates are among those promoted to partner. They are Kathryn Bew in the family team at the Thrings office in Bath, Charlotte Dooling in the Bath real estate team and Fred Quartermain, a member of the planning team in the firm’s Bristol office.

Alistair Wallworth, who joined Thrings’ Bristol office as a legal director in the real estate team last August, also becomes a partner.

Two Thrings solicitors become senior associates—they are Tara Connor-McLaren, who is a member of the family team and works across the Swindon and Bristol offices; and Anna Ralph, who is in the real estate team at Thrings’ London office.

Zhenja Cann of the Swindon family team becomes an associate, along with Emma Page in the Bath office and Bristol-based Pratibha Mistry, who both specialise in private property.

Simon Holdsworth, managing partner (pictured), said: 'I would like to welcome our four new Partners and congratulate all those who have received a promotion, with thanks for their hard work and contribution to the ongoing success of our firm.

'These well-deserved promotions at all levels of the firm underline the Thrings commitment to supporting career progression as part our strategy to drive excellence in performance and retain talent, for the benefit of our people and our clients alike.”

Thrings has offices in Romsey, London, Bristol, Bath, and Swindon, and recently added teams in the Wye Valley through a merger with Okells FrancisLaw.
