Growing Manchester law firm announces raft of promotions

Personal injury law firm Express Solicitors has announced 15 promotions in its Manchester-based team.

The company promoted Craig Phillips, Sarah Fowden, Anna Pearson, Jonathan Flattery and Anna Heeley to associate partners.

Alex Summerscales is now an associate advocate and Seetal Sagar-Jahnji, Daniel Brassington and Simran Sathi are associate solicitors.

Meanwhile, Joe Brown, Charlotte Allan, Nathan Harewood, Karl Young, Katie Barnes and Rebecca Fletcher have become trainee solicitors.

James Maxey, managing partner at Express Solicitors, said: “We invest in our employees from the moment they join us and there are plenty of opportunities for those that show skill and passion for personal injury law.

“In fact, eight of our partners have worked their way up through the ranks, starting in our new client team; nurturing talent is something we’re hugely proud of.”

He continued: “This has been a great year for the firm all round. We’ve just announced our best ever year end results, thanks to the dedication of the whole team in getting injured people the justice they deserve.”

New associate partner Jonathan Flattery commented: “It’s fantastic to see that promises have been delivered.

“When I started at the firm only five years ago I could never have imagined I would be made into associate partner so quickly.”

Last month, Express Solicitors announced its best financial results to date, with turnover rising year on year by 12% to £13.75m.
