SAS Daniels Announces Two Partner Promotions

In its latest round of promotions, leading North West law firm SAS Daniels has announced two new partners across its dispute resolution and private client teams.

After joining the business three years ago as an associate, Anna Sharp, has been promoted to partner and is also head of litigation and dispute resolution for the firm’s Stockport office. Advising both individuals and corporate clients on a range of commercial litigation matters, Anna has experience in handling multi-million-pound disputes and complex litigation. Litigation is a growing practice area for SAS Daniels, and Anna will continue to give Stewart Burrows, the head of the firm’s litigation team, valued support.

Genevieve Powrie, who has been with SAS Daniels since 2007, has been promoted to partner in the elderly, care and mental capacity team. Based at the Macclesfield office, Genevieve is a fully accredited member of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers and treasurer of the Court of Protection Practitioners Association. She is also a trustee for Age UK Cheshire.

Further strengthening the litigation team, Leon Gagnon of the Chester office and Holly Wilkinson of the Stockport office have recently progressed to trainee solicitors.

Jeremy Orrell, chief executive officer and business owner at SAS Daniels, said:

“As a business, we are keenly focused on continued career development, and providing opportunities for our colleagues to develop new skills – whether through training or undertaking the work itself – is a key aspect of our core values. Anna, Genevieve, Leon and Holly’s promotions reflect their dedication and contribution to the success of our business, and on behalf of the firm, I would like to congratulate each of them. We look forward to seeing them continue progressing in their roles while fulfilling our firm’s promise to understand our clients’ needs and protect their interests.”
