New appointment at award winning law firm

Law firm FBC Manby Bowdler has appointed a new trainee solicitor to its award-winning team in Shropshire.

Kate Rowley, who was previously a paralegal with the firm, will take up her role in the Family department based in Telford.

She graduated from the University of Exeter in 2011 and then studied for her Graduate Diploma in Law and Legal Practice Course at the College of Law in Birmingham.

Kate worked at a family law firm in Birmingham, specialising in high net worth cases, before becoming a paralegal with FBC Manby Bowdler in 2014.

Kate is experienced in all aspects of family law including, divorce, children issues and ancillary relief and is an active member of the Shropshire Junior Lawyers Division.

Her appointment comes as the firm celebrates more success with Telford based Mark Turner, qualifying into the Planning team in Telford.

Training Principal Charlotte Clode said: “At FBC Manby Bowdler, we are committed to training the next generation of solicitors and I have no doubt that Kate will be an asset to her team.

“Congratulations have to go to Mark for qualifying as a solicitor. We look forward to continuing to support them both in their careers with FBC Manby Bowdler.”

FBC Manby Bowdler employs 166 staff at its offices in Wolverhampton, Willenhall, Shrewsbury, Telford and Bridgnorth.
