Managing partner Mark Kermez said: “Once again a fantastic result! This is testament to the hard work and dedication of our lawyers at Clapham & Collinge.

As for many other businesses, the past few months have been challenging for Clapham & Collinge as it has sought to address the issues presented by the coronavirus pandemic and adapt to the new environment. Despite the obvious interruptions faced by the firm, Clapham & Collinge has maintained plans for the ‘progression framework’ that was introduced to staff members last year. This framework offers a ‘pathway to partnership’ for the firm’s top performing individuals who meet the qualifying criteria including length of service, commercial acumen and leadership.
Caroline Eaton (family solicitor), Erin Southgate (conveyancer), Jamie Pearson (IT manager), Lauren Abbs (wills, trusts and probate solicitor), Louis Hilldrup-Boorman (marketing manager) and Nicola Strefford (head of employment law) have all recently been promoted to the position of associate.
Mark Kermez said: ‘‘We are an incredibly ambitious firm and despite these uncertain times, we remain focused on developing our legal service offering. The success of this business is down to a number of things, but one factor stands out head and shoulders above the rest: our people. It is the talented, enthusiastic, committed and motivated people that make this business what it is. “It is those same people, and the many more who will join us in the years ahead, who share our vision and will drive this firm on to become the finest it can be. Congratulations to those who have been promoted to associate and thank you for your hard work and commitment.”
