Rachael McDonagh, also part of the wills, trusts and probate team, has been promoted from solicitor to associate solicitor, as well as being made branch leader for the firm’s Garstang office.

Simon England, managing partner of Harrison Drury, said: “Giving people the opportunity to progress and realise their potential is a key strand of our workplace culture. These well-deserved promotions are a clear reflection of this ethos and of the ambition we have for our people and the firm as a whole.

“It’s always rewarding to see our colleagues step into new roles and continue their journey with us, especially as they have come into the profession from different routes or have joined us at different stages of their careers.” 

Between them, Tracey, Lucy, Catherine, Scarlett and Rachael have accrued over 30 years of service, with Rachael having joined the firm as a legal apprentice straight from college.

The latest promotions come after the firm made 26 promotions across its teams and offices in 2025, demonstrating its strong commitment to developing people and helping them grow their careers.
