Leading East Midlands law firm, Rothera Bray, has announced its successful conversion to an Alternative Business Structure (ABS) following approval from the Solicitors Regulation Authority. This pivotal move marks a significant development for the firm, which aims to enhance its service offering, foster further growth, and diversify its leadership team.
As part of this strategic transformation, Rothera Bray has promoted five key team leaders to director roles: HR Director Sarah Poole, Business Development and Marketing Director Marie Walls, IT Director Robin Davies, Finance Director Philipa Roberts, and Operations and Innovation Director Tony Woodward. The firm’s conversion to ABS allows it to draw on a broader spectrum of talent, with individuals from non-legal backgrounds taking on leadership roles and contributing to the firm's business operations. This change follows Rothera Bray’s most successful financial year to date and supports its ambitious growth trajectory. The firm’s workforce has also seen substantial expansion, with the team now nearing 250 employees. Despite the regulatory change, Rothera Bray will retain its LLP status, ensuring continuity in the firm's structure while positioning it for future growth and innovation.
Christina Yardley, CEO of Rothera Bray, commented "This conversion strengthens our management structure by bringing a broader range of talent and expertise to our leadership team. By embracing the flexibility of an ABS, we are able to diversify our operations and ensure that we can respond to the evolving needs of our clients with greater commercial acumen and technical expertise."
