Quintet of promotions at law firm Lodders

Midlands law firm Lodders has announced a quintet of senior promotions for members of its private client, agricultural, real estate and business teams.

Heading the promotions is Louise Igoe who becomes an equity partner. A specialist in estate planning, wills and trusts, Louise joined Lodders as a trainee, qualified in the private client team and went on to make history at the firm when she became its youngest partner at the age of 30 when promoted in 2011.

The remaining promotions include a trio of new partners: the firm has promoted business and commercial specialist Kim Klahn, Caroline Nemecek who joined Lodders’ agricultural team as associate in November last year, and James Mottram who joined Lodders’ real estate team as an associate in January; whilst real estate solicitor Rebecca Freeman is promoted to associate.

The five promotions include three lawyers who joined Lodders as trainees, as the firm’s senior partner Martin Green explains: “Louise, Kim and Rebecca joined the firm as trainees, and it is testament to each of them, their hard work and legal ability, as well as to the firm, that their careers have evolved so successfully here.

“It is equally pleasing to see Caroline and James, both relatively new hires and exceptional lawyers in their own specialist fields, also achieve partner promotions.

“All five individuals make a significant contribution and play a pivotal role at the firm, roles which will be further enhanced in their new positions.

“Each of these promotions is part of Lodders’ succession plans and demonstrate the strength and depth of experience embedded across the firm,” he adds.

Lodders’ latest promotions coincide with the firm experiencing sustained growth, as Martin continues: “These are exciting times for Lodders. The firm is performing especially well and we have seen steady growth, particularly in the last two years. This has been very much organic growth and as such, is reflected in these latest partner promotions.

“As well as expanding our operations, notably with the opening of our Cheltenham office in October 2013, the strong reputation of our range of specialist legal services continues to grow and receive high rankings in both the Legal 500 and Chambers directories.”
