Speaking of the promotions, Helen Hay, head of HR at Shakespeare Martineau said:

’All ten of those recognised in these promotions, no matter whether advancing to associate or taking that next step to legal director, have proven time and again their expert knowledge, creative thinking and readiness to go above and beyond for every single client.  

’The Shakespeare Martineau Academy has been instrumental to the progression of all of these lawyers. Offering bespoke training programs and support for every level within the organisation, we believe that everyone should be able to progress their career in whatever way they want. 

’I am confident that the legal directors and associates will flourish in their new roles, reassured in the knowledge that we will continue to be in a position to provide top quality service across the legal spectrum.’
