“It’s very well deserved.

“All four of our new senior associates trained and qualified with Farleys, which is a great testament to our training programme and the development opportunities available to future trainee solicitors at Farleys.

“This latest round of promotions is another example of our investment in people here at Farleys and effectively demonstrates our strategy of being able to reward success for both lawyers and non-lawyers who contribute to the growth of our firm.
