Associate promotions for two solicitors at Devizes law firm

Devizes law firm Wansbroughs has promoted solicitors Jessica Martin and Lauren Johnson to associates.

Jess (left) supports both the agriculture & landed estates team and the dispute resolution team, advising on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious matters, including wills, tax planning, estate administration and contentious probate.

She bridges the gap in contentious probate by combining experience in estate planning, administration and litigation, helping clients to manage risk and achieve a fair and practical outcome.

Lauren (right) plays an integral role in the commercial property team supporting the partners with complex commercial property matters, as well as managing her own caseload of landlord and tenant work and acquisitions and disposals across the South West and beyond.

Both Jess and Lauren started as paralegals at the firm, undertook their training contracts with Wansbroughs, and have continued to progress since qualification.

“We are incredibly proud to promote Jessica and Lauren to Associate. These promotions not only recognise their hard work and achievements but also reinforces the firm’s commitment to equal opportunities and professional development,” said partner Chris Ware.

“As associates, they will play a key role in shaping the future of Wansbroughs, mentoring junior solicitors and strengthening the firm’s client offer.”
