Law firm, Walker Morris, has made a landmark 21 internal promotions, including the appointment of four new Partners, five Directors and an additional 12 Senior Associates.

Newly appointed partners at the firm include Adam Reed, Cameron Baloyi Rigby, and Mark Byrne, all in the Real Estate Group, and Nick McQueen in Litigation and Dispute Resolution.

The promotions reinforce the firm’s wider strategy of investment in talent, creating valuable careers, and its focus on fostering specialist expertise. This approach ensures Walker Morris can respond effectively to its wide-ranging client base, delivering a full service offering to its national and international clients from its single site in Leeds city centre.

Malcolm Simpson, Managing Partner at Walker Morris, commented: “As a firm, we are making a significant investment in internal talent and talent acquisition to grow our business and practice expertise, reinforcing our position as the pre-eminent, single site firm outside of London. All of these promotions are thoroughly deserved after what has been a busy and challenging year for our teams. The success of our firm is because of our people, with their fresh approach, ambition, and entrepreneurial spirit and I would like to congratulate and thank all of these individuals for their hard work and the commitment they have shown in delivering an outstanding level of service to our clients every day.”
