Two partner promotions at Michelmores law firm

Michelmores law firm has today announced the promotion of two new partners. Chloe-Howard Smith, based at the firm's head office in Exeter has been promoted to Partner within the Real Estate team and Karen Williams to Partner within the Business team. 

Chloe Howard-Smith joined Michelmores in 2006 and is part of the transactional real estate team. Chloe has a broad experience in commercial property work but her key focus is on residential development.

Karen Williams has been working with the Firm since 2008 and has a client base extending across the South West. She has experience across all areas of corporate and personal insolvency, finance and banking practice.

Colette Stevens, HR Director at Michelmores said: ‘We are delighted to see two of our Senior Associates rise through the ranks to take new positions as Partners. These individuals represent the diversity of talent across our business. Both of them display personal ambition for our firm, combined with an approach to working which is collaborative, friendly and innovative. As a result they have each made a notable impact with the clients they support. Many congratulations to both of our new Partners."

Michelmores has also promoted seven Senior Associates this year.

As part of its commitment to gender inclusivity, Michelmores aims to achieve a partnership group made up of at least 30% of women, by 2022. The Firm is moving closer to this target through its Women@Michelmores initiative, which is focused on removing the potential barriers to female progression, and takes active steps to address these. As a result of these promotions, the female representation at partner level at Michelmores will increase to 25 percent.
