Two Birmingham lawyers promoted to partner
The Birmingham office of law firm Irwin Mitchell has announced two partner promotions.
Employment lawyer Elaine Huttley and family law expert Mark Hands have been made up to partner.
Huttley has considerable experience of contentious and non-contentious employment work including tribunal litigation and advocacy, advising clients on day to day employment issues including disciplinary and grievance issues, drafting contracts and policy documents.
She also deals with corporate transactional work and has a particular interest in high level employment disputes involving shareholders and/or senior executives.
Hands represents people in the UK and internationally and has successfully litigated in the most complex family law cases involving divorce, money or children. He has an established practice representing people across a wide range of financial claims on divorce and this includes advising in the context of third party intervenor claims.
Andrew Tucker, group chief executive at Irwin Mitchell, said: “Once again I am immensely proud to announce our new partner promotions. When you take into account our new associates and senior associates, this year we’ve promoted almost 100 people across our group, which is another clear sign of the continued emphasis we place on investing and developing our people.”
He added: “The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has made getting professional and timely advice more important than ever for people and businesses. Our advisory services are seeing that demand from clients and it’s important we continue to build our group to support that.”
