Laurus is pleased to announce the promotion of Kirsty Kelleher and Ingrid Starcic to Partner, further strengthening the leadership of the firm's highly regarded Family team.
These promotions recognise sustained excellence, a deep commitment to clients and the important role both have played in the continued success of the practice.
For Ingrid, this marks an especially significant milestone. She joined Laurus as a Paralegal almost ten years ago and has built her legal career with the firm, progressing through each stage before becoming a Partner. Her journey reflects years of dedication and professional growth. It also demonstrates Laurus' commitment to developing talented people and creating opportunities for long-term careers.
Kirsty's promotion follows a remarkable period of professional achievement. She has advised on a number of complex and high-profile family matters, including securing a significant reported judgment in the Family Court this year, further strengthening Laurus' reputation for excellence in family law. Her expertise and strategic judgement have earned the confidence of clients and peers alike, while her determination to achieve the best possible outcomes has made her an invaluable member of the team.
Together, these promotions reflect the strength and depth of Laurus' Family team. The department continues to gain recognition through leading legal directories, reported cases and its work advising clients on some of the most challenging family law matters in England and Wales.
James Hollingsworth, Chief Executive of Laurus, said:
"Kirsty and Ingrid have each made an outstanding contribution to Laurus and to the clients we are privileged to represent. Their promotions are richly deserved.
Ingrid's journey from joining the firm as a paralegal to becoming a Partner almost ten years later is a remarkable achievement. It reflects her talent and determination, but it also speaks to the opportunities that exist when people are supported to develop and succeed.
We are delighted to recognise both Kirsty and Ingrid in this next stage of their careers and look forward to seeing the impact they will continue to have on the firm and our clients."
Steven Gasser, Director of Family, added:
"Kirsty and Ingrid are exceptional lawyers. They have earned the trust of clients, colleagues and the wider profession through the quality of their work and the care they bring to every case.
They have each helped shape the Family team we have today. Their promotions recognise not only their legal expertise, but also the leadership they show and the support they give to those around them.
I have the privilege of working closely with them, and I couldn't be more pleased to see them both promoted to Partner."
