Guests came together at Café Parisien in Belfast to commemorate the years since the firm was formed in 1959 under the partnership of Stratton Mills and Ivan Selig.

The firm now employs more than 50 people, having recently recruited 12 new individuals in the past year, and plans to grow its staff by a further 50 per cent in the coming years.

Speaking at the event, managing director John Kearns said: “Our team of lawyers are the best in the business. Our strategy is simple, we provide a personable, proactive and exceptional service to our clients to ensure we achieve the best outcome.

“We pride ourselves on being business-focused advisers. We’re local, we know and understand the business landscape inside and out.”
