Unlocking legal talent

Jonathan Bourne of Damar Training sets out why in-house council teams and law firms should embrace apprenticeships.

Law firm MSB Solicitors has promoted seven lawyers – including two housing specialists – to partner.

Among the new partners are Amy Tagoe, who has more than 15 years of experience in housing litigation, and Thomas Stockton, who leads on social housing disrepair matters.

The other new partners are:

  • Katie Camozzi, a specialist in children law, including High Court and Court of Appeal cases.
  • Daniel Pierce, a children law specialist in MSB’s Family Legal Aid team.
  • Steven Davies, Head of Employment Law.
  • John McCreanney, a Fellow of CILEX who handles commercial litigation, civil fraud, and property disputes.
  • Tom Mealand, a specialist in secured lending and commercial property.

Emma Carey, Managing Partner, said: “I am filled with pride by the promotion of our new partners—some of whom have spent their entire careers at MSB and were once my own trainees. To watch their growth from early career professionals into inspiring leaders has been a privilege. These promotions are a celebration of talent, resilience, and our shared values. I cannot wait to see what they accomplish next as they step into this new chapter.”
