Shannon Leering, Grace Beesley and Masuma Ahmed have also qualified as solicitors in commercial litigation, commercial real estate and corporate, and Richard Phillips and Abigail Boeuf have been promoted to senior paralegals in property litigation and medical negligence respectively.

Other colleagues promoted include Jordan Warwick-Tearne and Harriet Perkins, who have both moved to paralegal roles in debt recovery, and Mary Stansfield and Emma Cree, who have been promoted to acting executive assistant team leaders.

‘We are proud to have a structured career pathway in place to support colleagues to achieve their career goals.
