Celia Wright has been appointed the newest principal at Gilchrist Connell, bringing with her a 20-year background in D&O and professional indemnity matters.
In addition, she has acted for accountants, trustees, fund managers, architects, mortgage brokers and solicitors (amongst others) in civil litigation and disciplinary matters.
Richard Wood, managing principal at Gilchrist Connell, said he was delighted to welcome Ms Wright to the firm.
“Celia’s appointment to our PI and D&O practice supports our commitment to provide strategic and commercial advice to clients in this key area of demand,” he said.
“Celia is a seasoned practitioner, and we are very pleased to have her on board.”
The appointment of Ms Wright comes as the firm marked a partnership split of 40 per cent female to 60 per cent male as at the new financial year.
On her appointment, Ms Wright said: “I am thrilled by this opportunity to join the Gilchrist Connell team and continue the expansion of its excellent D&O and PI practice.
“It is a very exciting time to join the firm.”
