All change at law firm
Midlands law firm FBC Manby Bowdler will have a new face at the top after its managing partner announced she is to step down. Kim Carr is to become lead partner in the
firm’s private client team after 12 years as managing director, a role which is going to Neil Lloyd from 1 April. Mr Lloyd, the firm’s sales director, will head a
new executive board with partners Guy Birkett and Tom Devey at the 30-partner practice, which has offices in Shropshire, Wolverhampton and Redditch. He described the move as a huge honour and paid tribute to his predecessor’s work at the helm of the firm. He said: “FBC Manby Bowdler would not be
the success story it is today without the brilliant work Kim has put in over the last 12 years. I am hugely privileged to follow her in leading the firm and look forward to working with her for many years to come. “Our emphasis will continue to be on treating
our people as our most important asset and attracting, developing and retaining the high- level talent which has proved the bedrock of our success to date.

“We will continue to look out for and explore
new opportunities in the coming years as we have over the last decade and more, retaining our balance between private client and commercial work and delivering fantastic client satisfaction in everything we do.” As part of the changes, Charlotte Clode and
Stephen Burke will become team leaders of commercial litigation in Wolverhampton and commercial property in Shropshire respectively.
