We’re continuing our ambitious expansion plans with the recruitment of four experienced personnel to join the company.
About the Recruits
Sue Edwards is a partner and the new Head of Medical Negligence and Personal Injury, Bethan Southcombe is the new Head of Employment Law, Associate Solicitor Rachael Brown joins our corporate and commercial law department and Victoria Powers will lead our systems development team.
All four new personnel have significant previous experience in national law firms in their specialist areas and their appointments are key to helping the firm achieve our objective of becoming one of the largest independent law firms in Wales offering comprehensive personal and business law services.
Explaining the significance of these key new recruits and the timing of their appointments, Mark Hobbs, Managing Director of Howells Solicitors, said:
“We are very pleased to have secured the expertise of Sue, Bethan, Rachael and Victoria. Individually, they are each vastly experienced in their specialist fields and have all held senior positions in national companies where they have been responsible for the development of their departments.
“Over the past five years, Howells has achieved a record growth in turnover of 179% across all six of our South Wales offices and in July we moved to a 22,000 sq ft central Cardiff head office. We are continuing to expand and add more expertise throughout the business by making senior appointments and are confident that our new recruits will contribute towards this.
