South east law firm appoints managing partner

TWM Solicitors has recently announced the appointment of Jamie Berry as the firm’s new Managing Partner, succeeding Matthew Truelove who, having served the permitted maximum 3 terms in office, now steps down following a successful 9 years in the role. 

Jamie (pictured) joined TWM Solicitors in 2011 and has been a Partner and Head of the Business Law team since 2012. Jamie acts for national and international clients on a wide range of corporate and commercial matters. He previously ran his own business and legal consultancy in British Columbia, Canada, and was also a Partner in a London law firm. 

Commenting on his appointment, Jamie said: 'It is a great privilege to be given this opportunity to continue the great work of my previous managing partners and to be able to contribute to the next phase in the firm’s evolution.

'On behalf of the firm, I would like to thank Matthew Truelove for his incredible work and commitment to the firm as the Managing Partner over the last 9 years. Matthew led the firm through some historically difficult times, not least the pandemic, from which we have emerged stronger than ever, and the firm has benefitted from his great leadership.'

Matthew Truelove, who will continue as Partner in the Commercial Property team, added: 'I would like to thank my colleagues for their hard work, support and friendship during my term as Managing Partner—it has been a real pleasure and honour to have held such a privileged role for the last 9 years, and it is an equal pleasure to hand over the reins to Jamie for the years ahead. I wish him all the best for his term in office.'

Partner, David Powell, succeeds Jamie Berry as Head of the firm’s Business Law team.
