Expert gives new direction to law society
WATKINS & Gunn’s managing partner Clive Thomas has taken the reins as president of the Cardiff & District Law Society, after being selected by its council.
As managing partner and head of personal Injury at Watkins & Gunn, the award-winning legal expert has over 25 years’ experience and extensive knowledge of his sector.
Mr Thomas, who has previously held the title of president at Monmouthshire Law Society and the Association of South Western Law Societies (ASWLS), will now oversee the 2,000 members of the Cardiff & District Law Society.
As part of his new role, Mr Thomas will be promoting a new initiative known as #legalCardiff, a campaign created to support and engage Cardiff lawyers, while also promoting the outstanding legal work being done in the area.
He said: “I’m thrilled to start working with the society in such a pivotal role. It’s an honour to be leading over 2,000 members and working with the council to implement new ideas.
“While we’re celebrating the incredible legal work being done in Cardiff and district, we’re also working hard to nurture young talent and engage lawyers from all disciplines. With #legalCardiff, our aim is to spread awareness of the outstanding legal professionals in the area and provide insight with a series of events.”
