A record six lawyers at Bristol-headquartered law firm VWV have been promoted to partners.
The promotions span several teams and offices and include Kris Robbetts and Nicola Bickham in the Bristol office’s litigation & employment, Christina Le Riche and Madeleine Wakeley in the firm’s real estate department (London and Watford offices), and Frances Anderson and Samantha Chaney in the corporate, commercial & charities team (Birmingham and Watford offices). 
VWV said the record number of promotions reflected its successful growth strategy, which had increased its turnover in the last financial year to just shy of £40m.
The partner count across offices in Bristol, London, Watford and Birmingham now stands at 77.
VWV was recognised again as an industry leader in 27 practice areas by the latest editions of the two leading independent guides to UK law firm and solicitors, Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners.
VWV managing partner Simon Heald said: “Christina, Madeleine, Frances, Samantha, Kris and Nicola are deserving of their promotions. They represent the quality and values of VWV across their areas of law and have all been instrumental in the growth of the firm.”
