Lime Solicitors, which has offices throughout the UK, has unveiled two promotions across its personal injury and medical negligence teams in the Midlands.

With effect from this month, catastrophic injury expert Vicky Blodwell has been promoted to partner in Birmingham, while medical negligence expert Michelle Harper becomes legal director in Leicester.

Tony Hannington, partner and head of Lime Solicitors, said: "Their contribution has been exceptional and they are both shining examples of how our people can build or continue successful careers with us.

"I am looking forward to seeing them flourish in their new roles and supporting us as we continue with our aim of becoming the recommended firm for consumers in need of expert legal advice and support.”

Blodwell added: "I am looking forward to continuing to support growth and development of both teams, supporting those who have suffered serious injury, as well as continuing to drive performance improvement and client experience."

She works as part of Lime Solicitors’ personal injury team and also oversees the client on-boarding team servicing all Lime Solicitors work stream areas and helps with key projects within Shakespeare Martineau’s managed legal services (MLS) team.
