These promotions reflect both their individual achievements and their continued impact within the firm.
In addition, we are pleased to recognise the promotion of three talented lawyers within the Dispute Resolution team to Senior Associate.

They are highly valued members of the team, and we look forward to seeing their continued development and the positive contribution they will make in their new roles.
The firm is also proud to announce the promotion of Matt Ingham to Head of Citizenship & Immigration.
