Four promoted to partner across the UK

National firm Weightmans has expanded the partnership with the promotion of four of its associates.

In the Liverpool office, Catriona Wolfenden and Thomas Starkey have both been promoted to partner. Catriona (pictured, left) practised as a lawyer from 2011, before becoming the firm’s innovation manager in May 2018. Thomas (second right) is a real estate and social housing specialist working predominantly for social housing clients.

In London, experienced construction and insurance lawyer Paul Lowe (right) has also been promoted, as has Louise Walker (second left), the head of the family law department in Leeds.

Weightmans’ managing partner John Schorah said: ‘I would like to congratulate our four new partners for their achievement—their focus on the client and quality service are integral to our success, and I know that they will continue to work hard to deliver new and exciting customer solutions. Weightmans’ enterprise and teamwork is something I am incredibly proud of—and this is something that will ultimately set the firm apart from its competitors.’
