Harjeet Nangla, who has more than 8 years’ experience as a specialist employment lawyer, has been promoted to Senior Associate. Harjeet, who is named an ‘Associate to Watch’ by Chambers UK and recommended in the Legal 500 UK, provides specialist legal advice to regional and national SMEs and large-scale organisations. Harjeet regularly works alongside the firm’s Corporate and Commercial team on employment related aspects of corporate transactions, advising on complex areas of law such as holiday pay, TUPE, redundancy and discrimination.
Adam Colville-Robins has also been promoted to Senior Associate. Adam has 6 years’ specialist litigation experience and is rapidly building his reputation in this practice area, delivering exceptional results for clients on property disputes and commercial litigation. Also recommended in the Legal 500 UK, Adam acts for a variety of commercial and private clients including SMEs and business owners, private membership organisations, high net worth individuals and both commercial and private landlords.
Matthew Hill, Head of Commercial Client Services and Head of Dispute Resolution said:
“We congratulate Adam and Harjeet on their very well-deserved promotions. They have both excelled in their roles, building trusted, long-term relationships with their clients and establishing strong reputations for the fantastic results they achieve.
“They have contributed enormously to the growth of our Dispute Resolution and Employment teams and their commitment has been rightly rewarded. These promotions are an important part of our ongoing business development and strategy for growth. Our people are our biggest asset and to attract and retain the best talent, we continue to nurture the wellbeing and development of our team. Investing in both their technical skills and emotional intelligence is what sets us apart as a business and in turn, means we can offer an exceptional quality of service to our clients.”
The promotions conclude a year of expansion and industry recognition for the firm, which employs more than 70 staff and offers integrated services for both commercial and private clients under one roof.
Earlier this year, Raworths’ Corporate and Commercial team was promoted to a Band 1 ranking in the Chambers UK legal guide – drawn from extensive independent research with clients and professional contacts - joining its Employment and Family teams which have also secured a Band 1 ranking for four consecutive years. Raworths’ Trusts, Wills and Estates team also secured ‘Out of London Practice of the Year’ at the national Chambers High Net Worth Awards 2024.
Raworths has specialist commercial and private client lawyers working together as one team to provide the breadth of knowledge and expertise needed to resolve the complexities that life throws at businesses, individuals and families.
