Wright Hassall—seven promotions

Seven solicitors promoted across various practice areas 

A Midlands law firm has promoted seven solicitors across a variety of its legal teams as it continues to support the development of talent from within.

Wright Hassall has promoted six new senior associates, including experienced family solicitor Laura Stocks (family) and Danielle Pawson (contentious probate), who specialises in disputes relating to wills, trusts and the Court of Protection.

The latest round of promotions has also seen Jenny Rhind and Parminder Takhar become senior associates in the company's commercial litigation team, which is ranked by both Chambers UK and Legal 500.

Elsewhere, Laura Steel and Patrick McCallum have been promoted to senior associate in commercial, while Stacey Lambert has been promoted to associate solicitor (business immigration).

The seven form the second round of promotions announced by the Warwickshire law firm in recent months, taking its total number to 14 this year already.

Phil Wilding, managing partner at Wright Hassall, which is headquartered at Olympus House in Leamington Spa, said: “We’ve had a really strong start to the year and that is down to the continued hard work of our staff across the board.

'Investing in the development of our people and talent retention is so important to us as a company, so I am really pleased we have been able to reward all seven for their outstanding work and contribution as they continue their journey with us.'

Wright Hassall is a full-service award-winning law firm, which was established in 1846 and employs more than 245 people, including almost 40 partners.
