In addition, Wie-Men Ho and Amanda Smith in the human resources team have been promoted to legal director and employment partner Nick Jew has been appointed to the firm’s HR team.

Mark Beardmore, senior office partner in Birmingham, said: “It is fantastic to be able to recognise the talent, development and drive of so many senior colleagues as well as to welcome new members to the firm. These are exciting times in the West Midlands region. There is a real sense of opportunity in the region and it is the continued growth of our Birmingham office that has allowed us to keep investing in the careers of our teams.”
