Newest solicitor achieves associate status at law firm
Portsmouth-based law firm Warner Goodman LLP has announced the promotion of Grant Usher, its newest solicitor, to achieve associate status in the firm.
Warner Goodman, which celebrated its 170th anniversary last year, is excited about the promotion and believes Grant’s expertise and ideas will help the firm move forward, especially within the commercial sector.
Grant joined Warner Goodman in December 2020 after working for various law firms in the south.
He studied law at Oxford Brookes University and graduated with first class honours in 2013. Grant then became a qualified solicitor in March 2017 after completing a training contract with a firm based in Sussex and Kent.
Grant has achieved some impressive milestones in the commercial law sector. He was runner-up for LawNet’s National Junior Lawyer of the Year in November 2017 and won the Junior Lawyer of the Year award from the Hampshire Incorporated Law Society in May 2018.
Since joining Warner Goodman, Grant has become integral to the company commercial team, working alongside Steven Grant and Naushad Rahman, both partners at the firm.
The department has supported hundreds of businesses of various sizes with corporate and commercial legal matters. Typical services include share and asset sales and purchases, corporate reorganisations, management buyouts, contract reviews and private equity investment.
Grant has worked with various high-profile corporate clients in his career so far. The most notable was when he represented the seller for the financial takeover of Pompey in 2017.
