We are excited to announce the progression of several of our staff to new roles, as part of the firm’s planning for growth and change. It makes us particularly happy that longstanding staff members, who’ve developed their talents and careers with us, are now in key positions at a time of change for Cartridges Law.
Victoria Matthews and Julie Farmer have joined the executive leadership team and are now equity partners in Cartridges Law. Victoria has been with us as a litigation lawyer since 2007 and Julie as finance manager since 2001.
Managing partner Nicky Mein says:
“Leadership is key to any business. Successful leadership will help us to maintain our reputation as well as to meet challenge, so I’m thrilled to be joined by Julie and Victoria as equity partners.
“As finance manager, Julie has been integral to the growth of the firm and her valuable input prompted us to look at how we might promote staff who were not lawyers, where merit demanded it. We’ve changed our legal structure to allow this.
“We intend to become a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) by April next year, which will further support flexible management and ownership of the firm.”
Other members of the firm’s senior management team have also been promoted as part of this restructuring: Faye Newbery (Landlord and tenant, housing), is now a Partner and Joe Norman, Hannah Quick and Heidi Davey are now associates.
The firm very much values its pedigree of the last 50 years, but the focus for Cartridges Law now is its future. This restructure is in direct response to the firm’s growth ambitions and to support our loyal and growing valued client base.
