Eight legal team members at Hudgell Solicitors promoted

Hudgell SolicitorsHudgell Solicitors [1] has promoted eight members of its legal teams to new ‘Associate’ roles in which they will support senior managers in leading the work of key departments across the business.

Chief Executive Rachel Di Clemente [2] says the move has been taken to ensure those in managerial roles are afforded extra time to focus on development and growth strategy of their own departments, whilst adding an extra layer of support and leadership for those working on the day to day representation of clients.

It also importantly ensures people within the business are given greater responsibility, and the chance to further progress their legal careers.

Many of those moving into more senior positions have been with Hudgells for many years, and Mrs Di Clemente says the people promoted to the new roles  ‘live and breathe the values’ of the firm, describing them as ‘role models’ for their colleagues.

“The announcement of our very first cohort of Associates is a significant milestone for the business as these roles are necessary to support growth in the departments and those appointed will provide a welcome layer of additional support and leadership to their colleagues,” she said.

“It is a key part of our strategy to recognise and incentivise individuals across the business who are contributing above and beyond their existing roles, and who display an aptitude for leadership and commercial awareness.”

Mrs Di Clemente says Associates will perform an important role in assisting the business to achieve its strategic goals, assisting with line management and supervision of the teams.

The new Associates at the firm are;

Civil Liberties

Leanne Stephenson – A qualified solicitor since 2005 who represents families at inquests and in cases relating to police assault, unlawful arrest and breaches of a person’s human rights.

Personal Injury

Clinical Negligence

Mrs Di Clemente added: “These much valued members of our team live and breathe the values of our business and are role models for their colleagues in the work that they do, and the way they go about it

“I am immensely proud to begin the New Year with such a positive announcement for our business, reflecting the significant talent we have across the key departments.”
