Cheltenham based business lawyers Sherbornes Solicitors have announced the promotion of two long-standing employees, Trula Brunsdon and Matt Lennon who will now form part of the firm’s senior management team.

Trula Brunsdon and Matt Lennon have been at Sherbornes for 10 years and 6 years respectively and will work alongside the existing Directors, Darren Sherborne and Simon Birks.

Darren Sherborne the founding Director of the business which he started over 11 years ago commented: “I have always been a firm believer in promoting from within. I am delighted to be able to announce these promotions which are very well deserved and will put the business in a very strong position going forward. The reputation that both Trula and Matt have developed over the last few years in providing no-nonsense, practical, legal advice to our clients has made it an easy decision to bring their skills into the management of the firm”.

Trula Brunsdon specialises in employment law and has built up a wealth of experience advising both employers and employees across numerous sectors. This has proved invaluable in understanding both sides of the employment law fence and helping secure the best outcomes for her clients. She commented:

“I am absolutely delighted with this news. I love working with the team and am excited about what the future holds. We have grown strongly in recent years and we have ambitious plans for the future”.

Matt Lennon advises companies across a number of industry sectors on corporate law matters with a particular focus on business sales and purchases, several of these being some of Gloucestershire’s largest businesses. He commented:

“We have grown organically, often through recommendation and referrals, and as our clients have won new business. We are very proud of what we have already achieved and plan to build on this success further”.

These significant promotions of Trula and Matt mark an exciting stage in the development of Sherbornes. Simon Birks says “I am confident that this decision to promote two valued and respected lawyers will help to ensure that we can continue to go from strength to strength as a firm and that clients will continue to receive the quality level of support and advice that they expect from us”.
