Long-standing colleagues Rowan Uren and Gemma Lingard from the Corporate & Commercial Team, have both been made partner.
The third, Joe Kitchin, has been promoted to the position of associate solicitor within the Corporate Law team having spent the last three years as a paralegal and latterly as a trainee solicitor.
Alongside these promotions, the practice has bolstered its paralegal pool with three new recruits: Rochelle Rossi, Emily Webb and Kaitlyn Jackson.
A Legal 500 practice, Gorvins is ranked amongst the best in the UK, particularly for Corporate & Commercial, Dispute Resolution and Commercial Property for which it has the highest tier 1 rankings. Rowan Uren was recognised in Gorvins’ latest rankings, being highlighted as a ‘Leading Associate’.

“Our people are the lifeblood of our business and we can only continue to maintain the same high levels of service we’re known for if we have the right individuals, and support teams, in place. “Rowan, Gemma and Joe have a combined tenure of more than 35 years with us and we’ve proudly supported their professional growth through the ranks.
“Rochelle, Emily and Kaitlyn are brilliant additions to the business and have been welcomed with open arms.”
