North East-based law firm Hay & Kilner, which was established in 1947, has unveiled a duo of promotions as it looks to support future talent.
Ben Jackson has been made senior associate in the corporate team while Bethany Herbertson has become associate in commercial disputes.
Jackson, who is also the firm’s data protection officer, provides advice to a range of clients across a variety of sectors on all corporate aspects of transactional work. He has a primary focus on corporate mergers and acquisitions.
Meanwhile, Herbertson undertakes work across a range of areas including commercial litigation, professional negligence and contentious probate and intellectual property disputes.
Managing partner Jonathan Waters said: “I’m delighted to congratulate Ben and Bethany on their recent promotions. They bring a wealth of experience to the role and their promotions are testament to their hard work and dedication. These promotions reflect the importance we place on delivering the best service possible to our clients across the region.
“Like me, Ben and Bethany both trained with Hay & Kilner so it is very rewarding to see them advancing their career with the firm and reflects the importance we place on growing and investing in our own talent.”
