Appointments: DWF promotes pair to partner; moves at RSM Tenon
LAW firm DWF has promoted Julie Simms and James Driver as partners in its North West real estate teams.

National head of DWF’s real estate team Nic Crocker said: “Both promotions are richly deserved and come against the backdrop of increased revenue and a growing headcount on the real estate team, no mean feat in a challenging climate.
“These and other recent promotions show that DWF continues to attract and retain the brightest and best legal talent in the North. Having the right people in place will be critical in helping us to achieve our vision of becoming a top 30 UK firm and the natural alternative to the major national firms in the North.”
