A LOCAL law firm has welcomed two new partners.

Scott Richards Solicitors were delighted to welcome Camille Wotton, who is from Torquay, and Reuben Barnett, who is from Newton Abbot, into the Partnership.

Camille is a dedicated Private Client Solicitor, having specialised in Wills, Probates/Estate Administration and Lasting Powers of Attorney following the completion of her training contract with Scott Richards in 2019.

Reuben is an experienced Residential Conveyancing Solicitor, having practiced at a number of local firms, before joining Scott Richards in June 202; he handles a wide range of property transactions, including buying and selling houses & flats, transfers of equity, re-mortgages and lease extensions.

Jamie Dyson, Managing Partner of Scott Richards, said: ‘We are thrilled to announce the promotions of Camille and Reuben in recognition of their contributions not only to Scott Richards, but the legal profession.

‘Becoming a Solicitor takes years of hard work and dedication, and that deserves huge credit.

‘To go one step further by becoming a Partner is something we are very proud to advocate, and both are well deserving of the accolades.

‘Camille is a real success story for Scott Richards. Having joined us as a legal assistant, Camille has justified every step of her climb through the ranks to Partnership.

‘Equally, Reuben deserves every part of his success. Having joined the team during the height of the pandemic, Reuben wasted no time in showcasing his leadership qualities and is an extremely popular, and well-respected member of the team.

‘Both promotions are testament to their hard work, and I am looking forward to supporting them as they learn more about the business operation side of running a legal practice.’
