Promotion spree for Irwin Mitchell

Real estate lawyer Richard Allan and IT specialist Graham Thomson have both been made partners in a raft of promotions at the law firm’s Manchester office.

Thomson, an information and cyber security specialist, has been promoted to partner after four years at Irwin Mitchell. 

In addition to the two new partners, there are five senior associate promotions and five members of staff promoted to associate across the company’s legal services and business support teams in Manchester.
