Morr & Co LLP, a leading regional law firm with offices across Hampshire, Surrey and South West London, are set to appoint a brand new managing partner in 2023. The news comes after the current MP Paul Harvey decided that he would retire in April of next year.

Catherine Fisher, current Partner and Head of Dispute Resolution, will take over.

Catherine will be in charge of the company's general management and leadership, managing the business' strategy and continuing to execute on Morr & Co's vision to be the best law firm in the region for both customers and staff.

Catherine Fisher joined Morr & Co as a partner in 2015 and has been the Head of Dispute Resolution since then. She has been an essential member of the firm's Senior Management Team, participating in the development and implementation of the firm's strategy and directing numerous major initiatives.

Paul Harvey joined the business in 1988 and has served as the firm's Managing Partner for the past 14 years. During this time, he has assisted in guiding the company through a period of tremendous expansion and modernisation, allowing the firm to continue its metamorphosis from a high street practice to a prominent regional player.

Catherine had this to say about her new role: "It will be an honour to lead Morr & Co into the next chapter of its long history. We have a team of extremely talented people across the business, and together we will continue the growth and evolution of Morr & Co.”

“Everyone at Morr & Co is incredibly grateful to Paul for his complete commitment to the firm over the last 14 years. His vision has led the firm through a period of significant growth and change; and he has successfully brought us through some exceptionally difficult periods, including the 2008/2009 recession and the Covid pandemic."

While Paul said this about his time at the law firm: “I joined the firm back in 1988 and have had the great honour of serving as Managing Partner for the last 14 years. I believe that now is the right time for me to move on into the next phase of my life and the right time for firm also."

"It has been a great privilege and I very much appreciate the trust that my colleagues have placed in me. What has made the decision to retire easier is the knowledge that I leave behind a team of excellent people who will continue to provide the great service that we have sought to provide in the past. I am delighted that Catherine Fisher has agreed to succeed me as Managing Partner. I have every trust and confidence in Catherine and the rest of the Partners to take the firm forward into the future.”
