“I cannot think of a young lawyer more deserving of the accolade. I am excited to be working alongside Cat as she starts on this new stage of her career.

“Cat is one of those people that draws out a smile from everyone and she brings an effervescent energy to everything she does.

“She is able to engender trust in clients of all backgrounds and provides technically robust, clear and succinct advice in a way that resonates with clients, Cat’s skills as a lawyer are outstanding!

“It always gives me immense pride to see my team succeed – as a whole and as individuals. It is even more special to promote talented individuals into the firm’s partnership – it fills me with pride, jubilation and a deep sense of personal and professional satisfaction.”
