Mills Selig has announced the promotion of five of its solicitors to the firm’s newly-created position of senior associate.

Richard Craig, Maeve Fisher, Glenn Watterson, Fiona McFall and Caroline Glover have been promoted in recognition of their continued excellence in their relevant fields and overall contribution to the firm.

The Belfast-based firm said the creation of the new position signifies its “continuous growth and expansion”, following the recent recruitment of two property solicitors, a banking solicitor and two newly-qualified solicitors specialising in corporate, construction and litigation.

John Kearns, managing director at Mills Selig, said: “We are committed to the development of our staff and look for every opportunity to reward hard work and commitment to the business. As the firm grows in size, we recognise and fully support the need to offer opportunities for continued progression. We’re pleased to see our staff excel within their role and develop both personally and professionally.”
