A senior associate solicitor in the Employment & HR team at regional law firm Napthens has been promoted to partner.

Claire Haworth joined the firm in 2013 and since then has played a leading role in helping develop the team’s fixed cost employment law solution, HR3.

Based at the firm’s East Lancashire office in Blackburn, Claire is a member of the Employment Lawyers Association, and advises employers from a variety of sectors on all aspects of employment law and HR issues.

Claire represents a broad range of businesses across a variety of industry sectors and has particular experience in dealing with disciplinary and grievance matters, under-performance issues and restructuring and redundancy processes. She is the founder of the Enterprising Women Lunch Forum in East Lancashire.

Shru Morris, CEO of Napthens, said: “Claire has worked hard over the past few years to offer clients an exemplary service, and to communicate the firm’s offering in the region.

“This promotion is well-deserved and a recognition of her contribution to our business.  As a partner she will play an important role in Napthens’ future growth strategy.”

The news comes as a number of Claire’s colleagues also receive promotions – Charlotte Nuttall to senior associate solicitor and Anthony Fox to associate solicitor, both in the Employment & HR team; and Nicola Ciraolo to associate solicitor in the Commercial Property team.
