A WOKINGHAM solicitors has appointed a new managing partner.
Anne Deller took on the role at the beginning of the month at Broad Street-based Clifton Ingram LLP.
The firm has also made three promotions: Rekha Joshi, Lewis Djemal and Jonathan Foulds all became partners.
Anne Deller replaces Jonathan Davis as managing partner after 43 years as solicitor, 21 of which were spent at Clifton Ingram.
Previously joint head of Clifton Ingram’s family department, Ms Deller has specialised in divorce and family law for more than 20 years, in that time dealing with complex cases including those with an international element.
Earlier this year, the Legal 500 listed Anne as a Leading Individual in the field of Family Law and awarded her team a top tier ranking.
She said: “On behalf of everyone at Clifton Ingram I would like to thank Jonathan for his contribution to the firm not only in his most recent role as managing partner but throughout his career as a litigator and mediator.
“I look forward to working with my colleagues to continue to grow our law firm and provide the quality of service our clients have come to expect”.
Mr Davis added: “During my time as a partner at Clifton Ingram, the firm has grown in breadth, expertise and turnover thanks to our talented and committed solicitors and staff.
“Having worked with Anne for many years, I have no doubt Clifton Ingram will continue to flourish and I wish her every success in the new role.”
Lewis Djemal first became involved with Clifton Ingram as a work experience student and now will be the firm’s youngest-ever partner at 30.
Jonathan Davis joined Clifton Ingram in 2017 from regional law firm Stevens & Bolton, while Rekha Joshi joined Clifton Ingram’s Family department after qualifying as a solicitor.
