Law firm Forrester Sylvester Mackett appoints new equity partner

Swindon solicitor Rachel Saunders has been appointed as an equity partner at Wiltshire law firm Forrester Sylvester Mackett.

Rachel joined the firm in 2014 and has specialised in private client work since qualifying in 2004.

“It’s lovely to be recognised by the partners and to be welcomed to the firm as an equity partner,” said Rachel.

“I have a great deal of respect for the firm and the other partners and feel fortunate to be invited. I am proud of the firm that FSM is and of our conscientious and loyal staff. I feel confident that FSM has a promising future.”

Senior partner, Michael Cavalla said: “We are delighted to have appointed Rachel as an Equity Partner. Rachel has been with us for some years now and has proved herself to be a real asset to the firm. We have the highest regard for her and congratulate her on this well-deserved appointment.”
