Simon Gibson named Managing Partner at Kirwans after best ever year.
ONE of the region's leading law firms Kirwans has unveiled a new Managing Partner and a new look.
Simon Gibson, 32, becomes one of the youngest managing partners in the country, having previously been the youngest partner of a law firm in the UK when he was just 25.
Kirwans founder, David Kirwan, remains as Senior Partner, and will work closely with Gibson, who will have day to day responsibility for the management of the firm.
Fee income at the firm grew by 10 per cent last year and is forecast to grow by more than 30 per cent during the current financial year.
Kirwans, which has offices in Liverpool and Wirral, has nine partners and more than 80 staff.
The announcement of Gibson's elevation to Managing Partner coincides with the launch of a new brand for the firm. This is being rolled out in a new website, advertising campaign and a number of other marketing initiatives.
Gibson, who is based at the firm's Liverpool office on Water Street,
said: "Kirwans is one of the most established firms in the region with clients locally and nationally.
"My job is to ensure that Kirwans is seen as a genuine national provider of legal services.
"We believe in innovation, cutting edge technology and harnessing and developing the talents of our people. The rewards available to the best people compare favourably with the region's biggest firms.
"We provide the complete range of legal services to businesses and individuals at competitive prices."
David Kirwan said: "Simon Gibson has played a hugely important role in the growth and success of Kirwans during the past seven years and his promotion to Managing Partner is fitting reward.
"We believe we are well placed to compete locally and nationally in an ever more challenging legal marketplace.
"We have just enjoyed our best ever year and are currently recruiting a number of terrific new lawyers who will help us to achieve the ambitious targets we have set ourselves for the coming years."
