promotions alongside 11 newly-qualified solicitors.
Four of the new partners are in the firm’s growing real estate team – Simon Cooper in Cambridge, Laura Greenman in Wye Valley, Emme Raynsford and Morgan West in Cheltenham, alongside Hayley Phelps in the restructuring and insolvency (R&I) team in Worcester.
Rod Thomas, managing partner, said: “This is without doubt the largest promotion round we have ever had; it both recognises the talent and dedication of all those who have been promoted and shows the range of opportunities we offer.
