A Gloucestershire firm of solicitors has made a new senior appointment.

WSP Solicitors has promoted Demelza Pallant from associate solicitor to partner.

Demelza qualified as a solicitor in 2003 and specialised as a personal injury solicitor almost immediately. She joined the WSP Solicitors in September 2013 and has since then successfully led the growth and establishment of its personal Injury team.

As a senior litigator of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, Demelza is experienced in all areas of personal injury law. WSP says she is recognised by her clients for being friendly and taking the stress out of the claims process.

Judi Bonham, managing partner of WSP Solicitors, said: "I am very pleased on behalf of the partners to welcome Demelza to the WSP Solicitors Partnership. Demelza's contribution to her department, along with Lisa Walton and John Davies, ensure that we offer a very experienced team of personal injury specialists."

Demelza is located in the Stroud office and WSP Solicitors also has offices in Dursley, Gloucester and Nailsworth.
