Joanna Mansel joins as Senior Associate, and Markella Padoplou joins as a Paralegal.

They will be an extremely valuable addition to our already outstanding Bristol and London teams, and complement our existing personal injury as well as yacht and superyacht capability. We are committed to providing our clients with the very best advice and support, and these appointments are proof of that. I'm looking forward to working closely with them."
