Senior promotions at Nottingham law firm

(L-R): Zoe Romain, Simon Dakin and James Symons

Actons, the Nottingham-based independent law firm, has announced two senior promotions.

Commercial property lawyer Zoe Romain and employment lawyer James Symons both become director, bringing the total number of directors at the firm to sixteen.

Romain, who joined Actons in 2014, works with a wide range of organisations providing advice on residential and commercial property issues.

Symons joined the firm’s employment law team in March 2018 from a large national law firm. He advises SMEs and large organisations on a range of employment law issues.

The company’s chairman Simon Dakin said: “The directors of the firm are delighted to welcome Zoe and James as directors. Retaining our talented lawyers, by providing a genuine career opportunity, is a key part of our strategy.

“Zoe has been with us for five years and during that period has worked exceptionally hard in the commercial property team. She has infectious enthusiasm, is extremely professional and we are all delighted that she is taking the next step in her career with us.

“James has been with us for a shorter period, but in that time has made a great contribution to the employment team. His knowledge of employment law is excellent, and he delivers his advice in a concise and composed fashion that automatically inspires confidence.”

He added: “I am looking forward to Zoe and James both making a significant contribution to the firm’s future success.”

The appointments follow the company’s strongest set of financial results in a number of years and the appointment of Simon Dakin as chairman in June.
