International law firm Womble Bond Dickinson (WBD) has announced 28 promotions across its UK offices.
Following on from the 13 partner and legal director promotions announced earlier this year, Lorrae Hendry has also been promoted to partner. Lorrae works in WBD's planning team and advises clients in relation to contentious, transactional and advisory planning and environmental matters across the public and private sectors.
Lorrae commented:
“I am absolutely delighted with my promotion to partner and look forward to taking up my new role when I am back from maternity leave in the new year. The support and flexibility I received to enable me to make a partnership application whilst on maternity leave demonstrates WBD’s commitment to supporting its people with their journey through parenthood, without it impacting on career progression."
