Edith Berthen joins firm as one of first women to qualify as a solicitor (Hill Dickinson).

The firm’s commitment to evolution began in 1927 with the hiring of Edith Berthen, one of the UK’s first women solicitors, demonstrating an early willingness to embrace diverse talent. This forward-looking ethos continued through subsequent mergers, from Davis Campbell to Gorna & Co. and Bullivant Jones, each of which expanded our capabilities and infused the firm with new, dynamic perspectives.
