Matthew Barrow, Managing Partner of Lester Aldridge, said: “On behalf of the firm, I would like to congratulate each of our lawyers who have been promoted. They have all shown consistent excellence in both the quality of advice and client service provided in their fields of expertise and have proven themselves to embody our firm’s values.

“At Lester Aldridge, we pride ourselves on recognising and rewarding hard work, and are committed to investing in our people. Part of our recent substantial investment in learning and development was the incorporation of a transparent career development programme for all lawyers, backed by an “LA Academy” to deliver training in the business skills required as careers progress. The number of lawyers who have stayed with us for the majority of their careers reflects the supportive environment we offer. We look forward to supporting our new wave of promotions in their new roles.”
