Aimée has continuously demonstrated her exceptional legal acumen assisting the firm’s corporate team with merger and acquisition work, and her performance has been recognised by the Legal 500 guide who have awarded her ‘Rising Star’ for the last three consecutive years.

Having specialised in employment law since qualifying as a solicitor in 2017, Aimée has skilfully managed a diverse caseload, contributing significantly to the department’s first-ever Legal 500 ranking in the 2022 guide, particularly excelling in high-value respondent matters and corporate support services.

BHW Managing Partner, Ed Nurse, expressed his delight, stating: “We’re thrilled to announce that Aimée has become the firm’s nineteenth Partner. Her remarkable contributions to both our clients and the firm have been exemplary. Aimée’s promotion reflects her invaluable role in our team, and we are proud to now be able to call her a Partner.”
