Two solicitors at Russell & Russell have been made partners.

Emma Wood, who has worked for the firm since 2003, began her career as a trainee solicitor. She qualified in 2006 and specialises in wills, probate and Lasting Powers of Attorney. She is a member of Solicitors for the Elderly, a national organisation which provides specialist legal advice for older and vulnerable people, their families and carers.

Family lawyer, Jean Flanagan (pictured) also makes partner. Having joined Russell & Russell in 2005, she is a senior member of the care team where she deals with cases on behalf of parents and children when there is intervention from social services and highly complex disputes where children’s arrangements are the subject of court proceedings. Her specialist skills and knowledge in this area led to her achieving panel membership of the Law Society’s Children Panel in 2010.

Speaking of both promotions, Judith Bromley, joint managing partner at Russell & Russell, said: “Emma and Jean have shown tremendous dedication to the firm and their contributions to its continued growth have been invaluable. Their partnerships are well-deserved and I know they will both continue to play extremely important roles in the firm’s future.”
