We have announced 12 promotions across our legal and consultancy practices at our Manchester office.
There are 10 promotions within Gateley Legal, headlined by the appointments of residential development lawyer Nick Molloy and intellectual property, commercial & technology lawyer Tom Hughes to partner.
Molloy joined Gateley in 2022 and has been instrumental in growing the residential team in the North West at a time when development is accelerating on a number of projects in the region, in part thanks to initiatives like the Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s Good Growth Fund.
Hughes specialises in commercial contracts, IT and intellectual property, with a particular focus on cloud-based and SaaS solutions, consumer contracts and regulatory issues such as data protection.
In addition, Michael Rock (corporate), Jonathan Burton-Baddeley (real estate) and Hannah Carter (real estate dispute resolution) are all promoted to legal director, with Ben Yates (construction) appointed legal director PSL.
Banking lawyer Katrina Groark and corporate lawyer Adam Noble are also promoted to senior associate, with Danielle Beaumont (commercial dispute resolution) and Kady Upton (construction) stepping up to associate.
There have also been a duo of promotions at built environment specialists Gateley Vinden, with Mike Baldwin appointed senior associate director and Mark Wills promoted to associate director.
Gateley Vinden specialises in consultancy services for all aspects of the built environment, with our comprehensive offering comprising building and quantity surveying, cost and project management, fund monitoring, dispute management, surety bond claims support, corporate and insurance services.
