Holly Clegg and Lucy Gray, who both also started their careers at Hay & Kilner, have been promoted to associate solicitors. The promotions demonstrate the firm’s record of retaining key personnel and its long-standing commitment to professional development.
Holly Clegg is a member of the firm’s personal injury team and provides advice to clients on all aspects of personal injury litigation, including workplace incidents, road accidents and catastrophic injuries. Hay & Kilner is one of the leading North East practices in personal injury, as endorsed by independently researched guides to the UK legal profession, The Legal 500 and Chambers Guide.
Lucy Gray is a member of the commercial disputes team. As well as handling contractual disputes, Lucy also deals with intellectual property and professional negligence matters. She is recommended as ‘an associate to watch’ in Chambers Guide, an independently researched guide to the UK legal profession. Commercial dispute resolution is a significant practice area for the firm, and the team boasts an impressive range of local and national clients.
Martin Soloman, senior partner at Hay & Kilner commented:
“We are delighted to announce these promotions which are thoroughly deserved. Holly and Lucy have already contributed much to Hay & Kilner over a number of years and have proved themselves to be great assets to the firm.”
