Flint Bishop family team expands

We’re pleased to announce the promotion of Erica Wakeman to Associate within our Family & Matrimonial team, alongside the appointment of Hannah Taylor as a newly qualified solicitor.

Since joining Flint Bishop in 2023, Erica has consistently delivered high-quality legal support across complex divorce and separation matters, including cases involving significant financial settlements and sensitive child arrangements. Her promotion marks a significant milestone in her career and reinforces our commitment to recognising and nurturing talent from within.

Returning to us as a qualified solicitor, Hannah re-joins the Family & Matrimonial team after completing her training contract at Vines Legal Limited. She previously worked in the department as a paralegal, gaining first-hand experience of the firm’s client-focused approach to family law.

Angela Davis, Partner and Head of Family & Matrimonial, commented:

“It’s wonderful to see Erica promoted to Associate less than a year after being recognised in The Legal 500, a globally respected guide to leading lawyers. This promotion reflects the significant impact she has made within the department over the past two years. Combined with Hannah’s return as a qualified solicitor, this further strengthens our team’s ability to deliver a high standard of service to clients beyond our original roots in Derbyshire.”

Qamer Ghafoor, Chief Executive, added:

“These appointments strengthen an established cornerstone of our private client offering and enhance our ability to deliver responsive, compassionate legal guidance to clients across the country. Erica’s promotion and Hannah’s return also reflect our continued commitment to nurturing legal talent and supporting professional growth within the firm.”

These appointments see our Family & Matrimonial team continue to go from strength to strength, underpinned by a commitment to excellence, empathy, and personalised client service.
