On what led to her decision to work at Colin Biggers & Paisley, Ms Leahy said, "I value being able to contribute to a collaborative team environment and so it is exciting to be part of a team that is expanding nationally."
The firm's managing partner, Nick Crennan, noted that Ms Leahy's appointment will continue to add to the practice's expertise in the employment and safety space.

Meanwhile, Ms Griffiths joins Colin Biggers & Paisley with experience in commercial litigation and insolvency related matters. Throughout her career, she has acted on behalf of building and construction companies, professional indemnity insurers, insolvency practitioners and corporate and individual lenders, a statement from the firm said.
