John Bradfield-Kay, Private Client Solicitor, and Natalie Dolman, Commercial Property Solicitor, have both been promoted to Associate Partner. Business Development Manager Stephen Bolton has also been promoted to Associate Partner. Their promotions recognise not only their individual performance but also their role in supporting colleagues and contributing to the firm’s continued growth.

These include Atif Nazir (Commercial Litigation), Jade Jump (Personal Injury), Laura Murphy (Personal Injury), Olivia Cooper (Corporate Insolvency and Commercial Litigation), Charlotte Searle (Private Client), Debbie Scully (Private Client), Julie Fishwick (Conveyancing), Donna Jackson (Conveyancing), and Andrea Edwards (Conveyancing). Each has built a strong reputation for delivering high‑quality work and has shown a clear commitment to developing their skills and supporting clients.

The firm has also recognised the vital contribution of its support teams, with promotions including Louise Cumberbatch, Kaye Chadwick, Joann Chilstone, and Christina Rimmer to Senior Secretary roles. These promotions reflect the important role support colleagues play in the smooth running of the firm and the delivery of an excellent client experience.

Carol Liptrot has been promoted to Post Completions Lead, recognising her expertise and the key role she plays in overseeing post‑completion processes and supporting colleagues across the business.

Ian Liddle, managing partner, said: "I want to congratulate all our colleagues who’ve been promoted in this latest round. These promotions recognise both individual achievement and the important contribution each colleague makes to the firm as a whole.

"Farleys is proud to support people as they progress in their careers and we remain committed to investing in talent across all areas of the business."
