Fletchers promotes two senior lawyers to partner

Manchester-based Fletchers Group has promoted Parbeen Alamgir and Gillian Lakes to partner, recognising their leadership in complex clinical negligence and catastrophic injury cases.

Parbeen leads the firm’s Birth Injury Unit, specialising in multi-million-pound claims involving neurological injury, while Gillian heads Serious Injury Law’s Bolton team, with expertise in life-changing cases from military injuries to spinal trauma.

Both joined the business in 2018 and were promoted to associate last year. 

Their appointments come as Fletchers continues to expand, following the acquisition of Shoosmiths’ serious injury practice.

Peter Rigby, managing director of Fletchers Clinical Negligence, said: “Parbeen joined Fletchers over seven years ago and has become known for her passion, empathy and outstanding results in complex, sensitive cases.

“She’s built strong client relationships, raised Fletchers’ profile across the industry, and helped bring in new opportunities through her networking and external engagement so I am thrilled that she has been elected to partner.​”

Caroline Morris, managing director of Serious Injury Law, added: “Gillian joined us with previous partner-level experience and has consistently led her teams to achieve and exceed their targets. 

“She is a people-focused leader who is deeply committed to mentoring and supporting those around her.

“Alongside her role as head of department, Gillian continues to manage her own caseload, contribute to business development, and serve as a trustee at Headway. 

“It’s a real pleasure to see her recognised and rewarded for her dedication and hard work.”
