Leading North East Law Firm Sweeney Miller Law has appointed Claire Fenwick to the role of Marketing and Digital Media Director, to spearhead its growth in the region and nationally.
Claire, a member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (MCIM), brings a wealth of experience to the firm, with a legal marketing career spanning over 23 years. In her new role, she will lead Sweeney Miller Law’s overall marketing strategy and build on the company’s position in the market to drive strategic growth.
In addition to its strong client base in the North, Sweeney Miller Law is instructed by individuals and businesses from across the UK including London. The firm’s focus on service excellence and growing reputation has helped to attract instructions involving large commercial landlords, including plcs, extensive property development projects, business sales, acquisitions, mergers and management buyouts, as well as exceptional growth in commercial property, residential conveyancing, private client, litigation and family work.
With a total headcount of 85 staff, Sweeney Miller Law has seen rapid growth since it was established in Sunderland in 2002. In response to increasing client demand, a second office was opened in Newcastle in 2014 which the firm outgrew, and in 2022 relocated to larger premises at Bulman House at Regent Centre, Gosforth.
Earlier this year, the firm relocated its 65 Sunderland head office based staff to Sweeney Miller House, close to the Northern Spire Bridge in the city.
Claire’s role will see her leading the strategic marketing for both offices across its key practice areas.
Claire said: “I am looking forward to the challenges my new role will bring and working hard to exceed our goals alongside the fantastically talented team. I was attracted to Sweeney Miller Law due to its rapid growth, clear vision and strong leadership and I am delighted to be based in my home city at our fabulous new Sunderland headquarters at such an exciting time with all of the investment and development plans.”
Commenting on Claire’s appointment, Sweeney Miller Law’s Managing Partner, Surbhi Vedhara said: “We are excited to have someone of Claire’s calibre join the firm. She has a very strong reputation in the North East legal marketplace, and we look forward to working with her to further grow both the Sunderland and Newcastle offices of Sweeney Miller Law”.
