On 26 February 2015, Linda Jones, Brethertons Family Partner, was appointed by The Warwickshire Law Society as its new Deputy Vice President.
As a local resident to the Rugby area, Linda is a well-known figure in both legal circles and the local community. Linda has over 25 years experience in the profession and has built up a formidable reputation in family law, both locally and nationally. Most recently, she has been the brainchild behind the initiative ‘New Beginnings: The Next Chapter’ – a bespoke counselling service, free of charge to Brethertons clients going through family proceedings, to help them manage what is undoubtedly one of the most difficult periods in their life.
The Warwickshire Law Society, which has over 500 members and is over 100 years old, invited Linda to sit on the board, with the intention that she will become President of the society in two years’ time. Her responsibility in the current role will be to support the current Vice President and President in their aim of representing and promoting solicitors in the region.
Linda, who has succeeded David Murray of Murray Brankin, said:
“The Law Society has a huge part to play in ensuring individuals have access to justice and in supporting solicitors during these challenging times. I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to supporting justice and the profession, which is something I feel so passionate about.”
Trevor Dyer, Partner and Head of Finance and Administration at Brethertons, is also on the Warwickshire Law Society’s Council, and sits as the Society’s Area Representatives for the Rugby area. Trevor said:
“I’m delighted Linda has taken on this role. The Society is a key organisation in our field, in terms of support for lawyers, but also in acting as a gateway for clients looking for solicitors in the area. As a firm that is passionate about client service, Brethertons is proud to have two of its Partners on the committee of such as valuable organisation.”
