One of Essex’s leading independent law firms, Palmers Solicitors, is celebrating the promotion of two of its lawyers, Kristie Willis and Jonathan Hol, to the role of Associate Solicitor.
Kristie, who has more than seven years’ experience in employment law, specialises in Employment Tribunal claims involving unfair dismissal and discrimination.
Since joining Palmers, she has taken a leading role in growing and promoting the firm’s employment law services, including delivering a recent webinar on the impact of AI in the workplace.
Kristie said: “I’m thrilled to be taking this next step in my career with Palmers. Employment law is a fast-changing area and I’m passionate about helping both businesses and individuals navigate the challenges ahead with confidence.
“I’m also looking forward to mentoring junior colleagues and supporting the continued growth of our new office in Chelmsford.”
Jonathan, who began his legal career in South Africa in 2008, before qualifying in the UK, brings significant expertise in company commercial matters and contracts.
He has been central to the development of Palmers’ commercial services, particularly within the company commercial department.
Jonathan commented: “It’s a real privilege to be recognised in this way. Palmers has an excellent reputation for supporting businesses across Essex and beyond.
“I’m excited to continue building on that success by helping clients achieve their goals, whilst also driving further growth in our commercial services.”
