We always look to recognise the dedication of our people and promote from within wherever possible. We are therefore delighted to welcome Lorna to the partnership and we look forward to working alongside her in her new role for many successful years to come”.  

Lorna Watts commented “I first undertook work experience with LDJ whilst at school and this certainly contributed to my decision to become a solicitor, however, I did not expect (at the time) that one day I would become a partner in the firm. After several years now working at LDJ I am delighted to be joining the partnership and I look forward to playing a meaningful role in its future success.”
