Law firm Aaron & Partners has announced a series of promotions in several of its specialist departments.

Aarons, which has offices in Shrewsbury, Chester, and Manchester, has announced seven promotions from within the firm, including three new partners, a senior associate, and three associate solicitors.

Shrewsbury-based Ben Mason, who joined the firm in 2015 and advises both commercial and individual clients, has become a partner in the firm’s growing employment team.

Having spent over 12 years specialising in insolvency, Chris Mitchell has been promoted to partner in the dispute resolution and insolvency team.. His wide-ranging experience includes appearances in the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

Simon Mawdsley, already a recommended lawyer in the Legal 500, has also been promoted becoming partner in the family team, after spending the past decade specialising in the financial aspects of divorce.

The firm’s real estate team has seen three promotions, with Joseph Fletcher-Hunt becoming a senior associate and colleagues Steph King and Laura Gandy promoted to associate solicitors.

Jennifer Harrison has also been made an associate solicitor within Aaron & Partners’ corporate and commercial team, advising on a wide variety of corporate matters including company acquisitions.

Nick Clarke, senior partner at Aaron & Partners, said: “I’m really pleased to welcome Ben, Chris and Simon as partners. They’ve all made significant contributions to our performance in recent years. Their promotions are recognition of their hard work and the excellent service they deliver to our clients.

“This year has obviously been challenging for everyone and it has given me great pleasure to see the resilience and flexibility that the team have shown. More than ever it has been important for us to recognise excellent performance through promotions."
