Two new partners among Tughans’ promotions

Belfast-based law firm Tughans LLP has announced the promotion of seven staff – including two new partners.

The promotions come after what the commercial-law firm describes as “a significant period of growth” over the past year.

Tughans adds that the latest appointments are “a strategic step” to support further growth.

Promotions ‘vital’

The newly appointed partners are:

  • Ben Sims (corporate law), and
  • Paul Eastwood (contracts and technology).

Tughans has also promoted five people to become associate directors:

  • Abigail Cairnduff (real estate),
  • Aoife Quinn (dispute resolution),
  • Emma McKee (dispute resolution),
  • James Mulligan (real estate), and
  • Sarah Swann (healthcare).

“The promotions are not only well-deserved, but vital, as we continue to grow and meet the evolving needs of our clients,” said Patrick Brown (managing partner).
