Four new solicitors have qualified at law firm Roythornes Solicitors after completing training contracts. Emily Wright, Rebecca

contract with Roythornes after graduating from the University of Liverpool, will join the Nottingham office. She said: “I am delighted to have completed my training contract and qualified into the Nottingham private client team. “The Roythornes team has been supportive throughout my training and I had the privilege of working with real experts in the field in each of my seats. I was given
L-R: Emily Wright, Rebecca Ironmonger, Shola Khan and Naomi McFadden
responsibility from the very start and all my colleagues invested their time and expertise in providing me with top-class training.” Emily takes on her newly- qualified role at Roythornes after completing her LPC at BPP
University Law School, Cambridge. She re-joins the corporate and commercial team after working as a paralegal before starting her training contract. Emily said: “It has been a long road to qualification, and I am very
proud of the achievement. “I would not be the solicitor I am
today without the support and encouragement of my fantastic team, and I feel very privileged to have worked alongside some excellent lawyers during my training.”

18 business network November 2020
Law firm Shakespeare Martineau has announced four senior appointments and promotions at its Leicester office amid a raft of changes across the company’s national network. Louise Ingram (pictured) is one of three senior legal
professionals to move into a new level of membership – a similar structure to the partnership for other law firms, but with access also open to non-legal staff – after being promoted from preferred to ordinary member. Armed with more than 15 years’ experience, she specialises
in bringing forward commercial and residential developments by working with landowners, promoters and developers. Louise said: “I enjoy working with clients, particularly to bring
forward strategic sites. It’s like piecing together a jigsaw – waiting to find out what the overall development picture will be.” Town planner Brian Mullin has also been promoted to
an ordinary member, the top level of equity membership. He has more than 15 years’ experience in local Government and the private sector, and is a chartered member of the Royal Town Planning Institute. New partners joining the firm include Tom Ansell taking the role of team leader for residential conveyancing and Daniel Jennings, a commercial litigation specialist who will lead the litigation team in Leicester. CEO Sarah Walker-Smith said: “I’d like to first of all
congratulate those who have been promoted and thank the entire membership for its passion and commitment to our growth ambitions, and dedication to excellent client service. “At Shakespeare Martineau, the most important
thing for us is to ensure the right person is in the right role. We aspire to be a leading example in the sector by adopting a more inclusive mindset, opening the opportunity for inclusion in the membership to all our people – recognising hard work, commitment, individuality and experience. “2020 has proven challenging for the entire
business community, but our people have certainly risen to this. The honest, open-minded and proactive approach by everyone in the firm has placed us in a strong position as we emerge into the ‘new abnormal’.”
