A hat trick of promotions at Warner Goodman LLP

Hampshire based law firm Warner Goodman are proud and loud about internally promoting and recognising the value of their staff.

Two New Associates

Sabrina Skerritt and Robyn Finnegan have both shown talent, commitment and passion towards their careers at Warner Goodman and, as a result, have been promoted to Associates.

Sabrina Skerritt & Robyn Finnegan

Sabrina has thrived since joining the Residential Property Team in Portsmouth in 2015 and continues to go from strength to strength. In 2017 the firm awarded sponsorship to Sabrina to support her through her Graduate Fast Track diploma with the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx), which due to hard work and dedication, she completed within a year. Sabrina has been involved in many of the firm’s initiatives over the years and is passionate about maintaining and developing the outstanding reputation of the firm. Sabrina now leads a team in the Fareham office and provides excellent conveyancing services to her clients, which is attested to through her glowing reviews and client feedback. A thoroughly well-deserved promotion to Associate.

Robyn, having joined in 2020, has quickly made a name for herself within the Family Law sector from the Southampton Office. Having joined just as the pandemic hit, Robyn has shown her commitment to Warner Goodman, their vision, in addition to her ongoing career development, by reacting positively to the changing circumstances and providing excellent client care and results for her clients, in difficult times. Robyn is a “Warner Goodman person” and the promotion is great recognition of her efforts for the firm and as well as her career growth.

Promotion to Partner

Alexandra (Alex) Savage joined the firm in 2012 as a Trainee Solicitor in the Commercial Property Team. She successfully completed her training contract, including spending 21 months out of her 24 months training in the firm’s Property department. She qualified as a Solicitor in April 2014 and remained with the Commercial Property team in Portsmouth.

Alex Savage

In May 2015, Alex was promoted to Associate status in recognition of her hard work and dedication to the firm. Since then she has gone on to win the national LawNet Young Lawyer of the Year Award, which is a testament to her talents and has since, continued to develop her experience and expertise. Alex has built up a fantastic portfolio as a specialist commercial property lawyer, leading on a hybrid of both residential and commercial transactions for corporate clients, focusing predominately on acquisitions and disposals of investment properties, including buy to let properties and houses in multiple occupation. Fast forward to 2022, Alex is being promoted to Partner in recognition of the excellent progress that she has made and the leadership, skills and fantastic results that she provides for her clients. She has firmly made her mark within the business by developing her skills, in particular with HMO work, and is a great asset to the firm.

Managing Partner Andy commented “I am thrilled to announce these internal promotions, both Sabrina and Robyn are enthusiastic lawyers who are on the rise and a great enhancement to the selection of talent here at Warner Goodman.

Having Alex join us, as now a Partner is absolutely delightful and I am so pleased that she has pledged her future career to Warner Goodman. It is inspiring to see the evolution from when Alex first joined us as a trainee, to then see her flourishing within each chapter of her career as a lawyer. She is now a leader of the firm, helping to guide us forward to continue to provide excellence in Legal Services to our clients, in a world that demands that we continue to innovate and support our client’s changing needs. I am proud to know that Warner Goodman is a place where determined people can learn, grow, are supported, be sponsored and establish themselves as leaders in their areas of expertise, as Alex has, and as Sabrina and Robyn are now doing. We pride ourselves upon supporting, and rewarding hard work, which we respond to accordingly, by giving our employees the recognition and advancements they deserve.” ■
