Maddocks has elevated 47 in its mid-year promotions cycle, making three new additions to its partnership.

“The Maddocks board has been focused this year on modernising our business, through new innovation and technology, ensuring we are moving with our clients’ priorities and expectations”, chairman Mark Henry said. “Excellence in client service is particularly essential during these uncertain times, and our reputation as a great place to do great work has contributed to our success and growth during the last year”.

The new partners are joined by 7 new special counsel, 13 senior associates, 18 associates and 6 services.

“Our promotions demonstrate the firm’s ongoing transformation, both internally and across the legal sector, backed up by our dedication to making a difference to our clients”, CEO David Newman added.
