The promotions span various key Mills & Reeve sectors, including education, insurance, and real estate, while also covering construction, employment, corporate, commercial and family law.
Mills & Reeve has successfully achieved its goal of increasing the percentage of women partners to 33% by 2025, reaching this milestone two years ahead of schedule. From 1 June, women will comprise 40% of total partners, with five more women joining the partnership in the latest round of promotions.
Senior partner, Charles Staveley, commented: “I’m really pleased to see so many of our principal associates advancing to partner this year. As a firm, we’re dedicated to investing in the development of our people, enabling them to reach their full potential and progress to the next level. These promotions are a testament to that commitment, and to the hard work of the lawyers themselves. I wish them all the best and am confident they will continue to thrive within our collaborative partnership.”
