We are delighted to announce the promotion to Director of two of our colleagues, Mike Hansom and Jenny Greenland (pictured with Managing Director Catherine Smith, centre).
Jenny Greenland
Jenny heads BLB’s Private Client Team, specialising in Wills, Probate, Tax, and Lasting Powers of Attorney. Her first experience of BLB was on work experience from college in 2002, when she was 17! That clearly didn’t put her off, as after completing her course, she accepted a job offer from us. With our ongoing support and encouragement, Jenny continued her studies part-time, qualifying as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives in 2014 and becoming team head in 2023.
Mike Hansom
Mike grew up in Bath before studying at the University of St Andrews and qualifying as a solicitor in 2005. He joined BLB in 2016 and now leads our busy Property Disputes Team. A highly respected property litigator, Mike is frequently sought after by the national press for his expert commentary on topical legal issues.
Catherine said, “We are thrilled to welcome Mike and Jenny as Directors. For Jenny in particular, this is a major milestone, having built her entire career with the firm. And although Mike joined us later in his career, he also had an early introduction to us through work experience as a student! Both are exceptional lawyers and respected team leaders, and they are joining our Board at an exciting time of sustained growth for the firm.”
