Birketts announces promotion of ten new Partners
2 April 2024
UK Top 50 law firm, Birketts, has announced the promotion of ten new Partners to the firm’s Partnership. This year’s promotions are particularly significant as 70% of the promotions are female, bringing the firm’s total female representation in the Partnership to 41%.
Joining the Partnership are:
- Amanda Early, Commercial Property
- Claire Tenwick, Private Client Advisory
- Emily O’Donnell, Private Client Advisory
- Jennifer Leeder, Employment
- Juliet Harvey, Family
- Kate Harris, Private Wealth Disputes
- Kevin Wilson, Ecclesiastical
- Patrick Cooney, Construction
- Sarah Hickey, Private Client Advisory
- Tom Carley, Residential Property
Taking effect from 1 April 2024, the internal promotions bring the total number of Partners at the firm to 127. Their progression reflects the continued success of the firm, which in the last 12 months has seen the establishment of a foothold in the South East through its newest office in Sevenoaks, and the move to a new office space in London at One London Wall.
On the promotions, Jonathan Agar, Chief Executive, said: “We are really pleased to announce this year’s Partnership promotions. All ten of our newest Partners bring a unique set of skills that complement each other, strengthening our firm’s Partnership to play a role in taking Birketts to the next level. As always, I’m looking forward to seeing their continued contributions and personal growth as they embark on the next stage of their legal careers at Birketts.”
Chris Schwer, Senior Partner, added: “I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our newest Partners for the role that they have played in Birketts’ story so far and wish them all the best for their future as Partners of the firm. I am looking forward to working alongside them as we see Birketts through the next stage of growth over the course of this year and beyond.”
