Wake Smith unveil promotions

Wake Smith Solicitors has announced a series of promotions in several of its specialist departments.

The Sheffield-based company unveiled four promotions from within the firm to director and associate levels.

Solicitor Scott Haslam, who specialises in clinical negligence, and litigation solicitor Mike Doherty, who joined the firm earlier this year, become directors, while solicitor Jessica Rowbotham and chartered legal executive Shaun Talbot become associates in Wake Smith’s busy private client team.

John Baddeley chairman and director in the company commercial team at Wake Smith, said: “These promotions are richly deserved.

“People are our most important strength and their commitment to clients, and each other, has helped us navigate our way through challenging times over recent months.

“With our latest promotions, we are strengthening the firm’s offering to help both businesses and individuals. Demand for a range of legal services continues to be driven as we adapt to the changes that the Covid-19 pandemic brings at work and at home.”
