A WOMAN who started with a Worcester law firm as a junior has been promoted to partner.

Sharon Ingram joined QualitySolicitors Parkinson Wright as an office junior in 1997 and after two years took the position of legal secretary in the conveyancing department. She then progressed to become a conveyancing assistant and began studying with the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, qualifying as a legal executive in 2006.

With more than 17 years’ experience in residential property, Mrs Ingram now deals with all types of residential conveyancing transactions specialising more recently in leasehold enfranchisement cases.

She said: "I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to represent the firm as a partner, more so given the fact that I virtually started my working life at Quality Solicitors Parkinson Wright. During my 19 years with the firm I have been lucky enough to carry on pursuing my career at the same time as having two children and that is credit to QualitySolicitors Parkinson Wright for supporting me during those years."

Faye Green, head of the firm's residential property department, added: "Sharon’s dedication and commitment to the firm and her clients have always been outstanding. She is an integral member of our residential property department and becoming a partner of the firm is a well-deserved achievement.”
