The new partners will enhance the firm's contentious and non-contentious practices, while bolstering the firm's position across its international network and full service range of sectors. These promotions reflect the continuing growth and success of the firm and its support to the development of its lawyers.

Julia Whyte, Employment, London: Julia's practice covers all aspects of employment law, acting both for employers and employees. She specialises in corporate clients with an international focus.

Ruaridh Guy, Shipping and International Trade, Hong Kong: Ruaridh acts on behalf of shipping and trade clients on a range of dispute resolution matters. He also advises on non-contentious issues in the maritime and trade sectors and has substantial experience of contentious insolvency matters. Ruaridh is qualified in both England & Wales and Hong Kong.

Sally Roberts, Real Estate, Cardiff: Sally represents clients on all aspects of residential property law. Her expertise encompasses sales, purchases, re-mortgages and transfers of equity. She also deals with deeds of easement, lease extensions and creation of new residential leases.

Julian Clark, Global Senior Partner at Ince, commented: "Following an impressive but demanding year, where people across the business have shown resilience and flexibility, I would like to congratulate our new partners on their well-deserved promotion. Their experience and expertise builds on the excellent and diverse legal advisory offering that we are able to offer our clients." 

Adrian Biles, CEO, added: "I would like to echo Julian's congratulations and am delighted to see talent from across The Group progress and reach their fullest potential."

"Our clients continue to benefit from our growing international offering, investment in our people as well as through partners bringing an increasing number of innovative solutions to clients."

"Unlike a traditional partnership, as a listed firm with a corporate model, our funding is provided externally and our partners are not required to provide capital. Instead partners benefit directly from their efforts and the business is better able to invest in itself to further broaden the number of client needs we are able to support."
