HCR has made a raft of key appointments
Five new partners lead HCR’s largest-ever promotions round; 25 lawyers are celebrating their
promotions alongside 11 newly-qualified solicitors.
Four of the new partners are in the firm’s growing real estate team – Simon Cooper in Cambridge, Laura Greenman in Wye Valley, Emme Raynsford and Morgan West in Cheltenham, alongside Hayley Phelps in the restructuring and insolvency (R&I) team in Worcester.
Rod Thomas, managing partner, said: “This is without doubt the largest promotion round we have ever had; it both recognises the talent and dedication of all those who have been promoted and shows the range of opportunities we offer.

“It is no coincidence that it swiftly follows the promotion of 11 newly qualified solicitors at the end of their training, beginning their legal careers with us. All these appointments are thoroughly deserved, and we congratulate all of those celebrating.”
