Firm announces latest promotion round
Law firm Walker Morris, announced 25 new internal promotions this month, including four partners, three directors and an additional 18 senior associates.
The new appointments have been made across multiple practice areas in the firm. The newly appointed partners include Lewis Couth in the real estate litigation team, Laura Lister in the finance team, Michael O’Halloran in the corporate team, and Charlotte Smith in the employment team.
This year marks the first cohort of partners who have progressed through Walker Morris’s Forge programme, an initiative designed to equip future and existing partners with the skills, mindset and knowledge necessary to excel in their roles as a partner and drive the firm to success. The programme is built around three main pillars to make the path to partnership more transparent. These pillars include understanding the ever-changing legal landscape, growing the business and leading its people.
Speaking of the new appointments, new managing partner Jeanette Burgess said: ‘I would like to congratulate all our colleagues this year for their hard work and dedication. These promotions are very well deserved and reinforce our commitment to continued investment in our people, as we focus on implementing our three-year strategy to attract and retain the top talent.
‘We have embedded an award-winning sustainable career offering, giving our people not only a great place to work, but access to high-calibre work and the opportunity to shape their professional development. The success of our firm is a testament to our people, and I look forward to seeing them all continue to flourish as they build their careers here at Walker Morris.’
