New Appointments Add Strength To Our Team
David Sorensen, Tom Morrish & Paul Scholey
As part of our ongoing expansion, we have new appointments in our leadership team and across the firm, strengthening our position as one of Leeds’ leading Law Firms and as a national trade union specialist firm.
Instrumental in leading us through this exciting period is our Managing Partner, David Sorensen. Appointed in February 2020, shortly before the Coronavirus pandemic, David has played an essential role in managing the firm and supporting its clients through an unprecedented period. He commented “I’m delighted to be Managing Partner of one of Leeds’ oldest independent law firms and to see the firm grow during what has been a challenging but overall positive year for the firm. These promotions and changes demonstrate our growth and our strong pool of talent. I would like to congratulate everyone on their promotion”.
Tom Morrish has taken over as Senior Partner from Paul Scholey. Tom will continue his roles as the firm’s Finance Partner and Head of the Wills and Estates team. Tom’s appointment recognises his long-standing contribution to Morrish Solicitors. Discussing his new appointment, Tom commented: “I am delighted to have accepted the role as Senior Partner, it gives me great satisfaction to be able to maintain the Morrish family connection. I wish Paul the best as he continues to be an active partner in the firm.”
Paul Scholey will keep working closely with our Trade Union clients and their members. Paul said: “It’s been an absolute privilege to be Senior Partner. We’ve expanded our client base locally, regionally and nationally, and grown our profile in the trade union world. I’m really proud of the work done by all our staff, and I know David will take the firm from strength to strength with Tom as Senior Partner and a great team around the partnership table.”
