Boys & Maughan Solicitors has strengthened its leadership team with the promotion of three experienced lawyers, Andréa McCoy, Karen Perreau, and Lucinda Parker, to the partnership, bringing the total number of partners at the firm to 17.

Andréa, a private client solicitor based in Ramsgate, is widely respected for her clear and pragmatic legal advice. Karen and Lucinda, both specialists in children law, have extensive expertise in handling complex cases.

In addition to these appointments, Boys & Maughan has introduced a new associate partner role, recognising the talent and ambition within the firm. Wendy Burgess, Kathleen Gray, Graham Tong, and Zoey Arscott have been named as the first to take up these positions.

Further strengthening the firm's senior legal cohort, Katie Smithson has been promoted to Senior Chartered Legal Executive, while Joana Daraskeviciute steps into the role of Senior Solicitor.

All nine lawyers formally assumed their new positions on 1 April 2025.

Andrew Baker, Senior Partner at Boys & Maughan, commented:

"These promotions reflect the ongoing strength of the firm and our commitment to strategic growth.

"Our new partners, associate partners, and senior lawyers have made invaluable contributions to our success, and I extend my warmest congratulations to each of them. Their skills, dedication, and professionalism are instrumental to our firm’s continued development.

"As we look to the future, it is crucial that we have the right people in key positions. These nine individuals will play a vital role in enhancing our services, mentoring colleagues, and driving forward our plans."

"The creation of the associate partner role enables us to recognise talented individuals who are on track for salaried partnership in the near future. We will provide structured mentoring to support them in reaching that goal," explained Andrew.

"We have always been committed to developing talent from within, and these promotions continue our long tradition of supporting career progression."

Boys & Maughan now has a team of 62 lawyers operating across six main offices, ably supported by 100 secretaries, administrators and central services staff.
