Cartland Law boosts leadership alongside inaugural partner appointment

The appointment comes alongside Richard Lyons, who will be serving as a senior associate solicitor at Cartland Law, following 18 months at WRP Legal, where he was also a senior associate.

Primerano – who is both a lawyer and a chartered accountant – joined Cartland Law from accounting firm Le Cornu Lewis Hancock, where he served as an accountant for over six years.

In 2021, Primerano joined Cartland Law as a senior associate solicitor, working alongside Cartland Law principal Adrian Cartland. He will be the boutique firm’s first partner appointment.

“I am delighted to announce Joseph as a partner of the firm; his dedication, outstanding legal and accounting acumen, as well as his leadership skills, amount to a very well-deserved promotion,” Cartland said.

Meanwhile, Lyons – who is a taxation and commercial law expert – joins Cartland Law from fellow boutique firm WRP Legal, having previously held over six years of experience at BigLaw firms Baker McKenzie and Clayton Utz.

“Richard brings a wealth of experience to the firm and will add great value to the work we do in resolving complex tax disputes and advising on trusts and their administration,” Cartland said.
