Promotion for head of family and divorce team at Bromleys Solicitors

The head of law firm Bromleys’ family and divorce team has been promoted to principal solicitor.

Keith Bull joined the Tameside practice in 2018 and has overseen a doubling in size and turnover for the team.

He specialises in cases involving the breakdown of marriages and relationships of high net worth clients, especially those with their own businesses, investments and sizeable pensions.

Keith is recognised in his field as a leading expert – he is an advanced member of the Law Society’s advanced family law panel and an accredited specialist on the family law panel of Resolution.

Resolution is a membership organisation for lawyers and other professionals committed to constructive, non-confrontational ways to resolve divorce, separation and other family-related legal issues.

Keith has specialist accreditations from Resolution for financial remedies, private children law, domestic violence, and cohabitation and property disputes brought under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act. He is also an assessor for the organisation in the application process for accreditation.

His team at Bromleys also deals with cases involving the children of a broken relationship, particularly domestic violence injunctions and ensuing or related matters.

Mark Hirst, senior partner at Bromleys, said: “Keith’s promotion is recognition for his exemplary work and achievements since joining the firm in 2018. The team under his leadership has gone from strength to strength and this is testament to his strategic planning.”

Keith said: “To be recognised and offered this promotion by the partners at Bromleys is a tremendous honour.

“I have over 30 years of family law experience, and 2022 has been a real milestone for both myself and the team. We smashed the record for turnover for our team and, towards the end of the financial year, I was able to boost our staffing levels as we look very well set for further growth this year.

“Working in family law comes with its challenges. Going through a divorce or a separation is an emotionally-charged time for anyone, but having the right team by your side can help alleviate some of the stresses relating to property, children and financial issues.

“My entire team is dedicated to the cause and always strives to achieve the very best outcome for all our clients.”
