Winckworth Sherwood has promoted Charlotte Coleman and Qaisar Sheikh to partner, taking its total partner count to 78. The pair are based in the firm’s property litigation and education teams respectively, as part of its continued growth across offices in London, Oxford and Manchester.
Coleman, now a partner in the property litigation team, advises developers, social housing providers, building owners, asset managers and private individuals on complex and high-value disputes, with a focus on residential development. Sheikh, who joins the partnership in the education team, has more than 15 years’ experience advising on education, public and discrimination law, particularly in matters involving children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
Richard Tinham, managing partner, said: ‘The entire firm joins me in congratulating Charlotte and Qaisar on their promotion to partner.’ He added that their ‘contributions to the firm… have been exceptional’ and said the firm ‘look[s] forward to the impact they will continue to make as partners’.
He added that the promotions ‘further reinforce our focused growth strategy’ across the firm’s real estate; education, faith and charities; and private client and employment sectors.
