Local solicitors Bennett Griffin LLP are bucking the current economic doom and gloom, appointing six of their solicitors to Associate status - a stepping stone to partnership at the firm.

Said Managing Partner Stephen Hollamby, "each one of these team members has shown exceptional ability in their areas of law and, just as important to, they are highly client focused. They have all done something out of the ordinary to impress the partners and they are commited to their future careers with the firm. We are delighted for each and every one of them and this latest bit of good news keeps us firmly on the track of constantly improving and enhancing our service to local clients."
