South of England firm Trethowans has announced the promotion of personal injury specialist James Braund to partner, and the appointment of divorce and separation solicitor, Rosie Beaven, to its family team.
A member of the firm for more than 13 years, James (pictured) specialises in complex and catastrophic cases, acting for clients who have suffered life changing injuries including brain damage and severe spinal trauma.
Rosie, who qualified in July 2019, specialises in all areas of divorce and the resolution of matrimonial finances, including pre-nuptial and separation agreements. She serves as chair of Dorset Young Resolution.
James said: ‘I’m absolutely over the moon to have reached this milestone. I’ve been with Trethowans for 13 years now and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of the people around me.
‘My clients come to me having suffered horrendous injuries, struggling to come to terms with their new situation and worrying about how they will make ends meet. I feel privileged to be in a position to help them achieve the justice that they deserve, whether that be by obtaining early access to rehabilitation or ultimately securing a significant sum at the end of the day.’
Rosie added: ‘I’m really excited to embark upon the next chapter of my career with Trethowans. It has such an amazing reputation within the local community for its client centred and compassionate approach, which ties in with my philosophy that no two cases and no two clients are ever the same. I always take great care to adapt my approach accordingly.’
