Talented and ambitious lawyers at a Swindon firm have been given promotions and one has been made a partner. 

Specialist personal injury law firm Novum Law is set for further growth this year following the five key promotions.

Highly experienced serious personal injury solicitor Kim Chamberlain, who joined Novum Law in 2010 and is based in the firm’s Swindon office, is now a partner, joining the 10-strong senior management team.

Kim has worked in the field of personal injury litigation for more than 23 years and is an expert in catastrophic, life-changing injuries such as traumatic and complex spinal and brain injuries.

These cases often involve high value compensation awards to ensure accident victims have access to the rehabilitation, medical treatment and the care and support required for the rest of their lives.

She also brings to the team specialist, expert knowledge in acquired brain injuries, serious orthopaedic and spinal injuries, as a result of sporting accidents in cycling, speed boating, water sports and other sporting disciplines.

Kim said: “There is no other top-ranked law firm in Swindon and the surrounding area that works exclusively on behalf of people who’ve sustained a severe, life-changing injury, through no fault of their own. There is growing demand for our services and I am delighted to be promoted to partner at such an exciting time of rapid expansion for the firm.”

Promotions also go to Claire Sagala who becomes Senior Associate; Daniel Green promoted to Associate Legal Director; Andrew Walker who is now an Associate Solicitor and Alexandra Moore, now also an Associate Solicitor.

The latest promotions mark a significant step forward for the five colleagues who have clocked up over 17 years' service between them.

Thomas Sheppard, Chief Executive of Novum Law, said: “Congratulations to Kim who is a talented and committed member of the team. Her promotion to partner is very well-deserved. Our latest round of New Year promotions are a reflection of both the quality of people we have in our business and our broader commitment to ensuring that talent flourishes here at Novum Law.

“We are always on the look-out for exceptional, ambitious lawyers who are keen to join a dynamic, rapidly growing firm and our latest promotions demonstrates how investing in talented solicitors is paying significant dividends for us and all our clients.”
