FOUR new partners are making their promotions at Harrison Clark Rickerbys as part of an expansion at the firm.

In total there have been 15 promotions through every level of the legal firm, which moved into a new Cathedral Square office last year.

Family lawyer Anita Hennessey, based in Worcester, has become a partner, along with colleague Victoria Fellows, based in Birmingham, who joined in 2016.

Joining Anita and Victoria at partner level are litigation specialist Alison Goodwin, who has been with the firm since 2012, and corporate lawyer Rachael Reeves who joined in 2014.

Meanwhile Oliver Daniels and Rebecca Kirk, family lawyer Maxine Reid, litigator Tom Williams and commercial lawyer Rachel King all becoming senior associates.

And Lauren McGurk, Rachel Newman, Laura Shirley, Alex Wilson, David White and Elizabeth Wickson have become associates

New senior partner Richard Knight said: “These talented people richly deserve their promotion – recognising talent, commitment and dedication is very important to us, and I look forward to seeing all of them progress further in the firm.

“The opening of our Cambridge office, founded on the excellent work of partner Inger Anson over the last year, is another indication of the way the firm is growing – our success is based solidly on client demand, and this expansion is an example of that.”

Overall Harrison Clark Rickerbys employs 470 staff across offices in the region.

The Cathedral Square office adds more than 10,000 sq ft of space, and allows for further significant expansion of the numbers in Worcester above the 150 staff already employed in the city.

The firm also now has a permanent London base and is expanding its Birmingham office this year.
