Thomas Flavell & Sons Solicitors is delighted to announce the promotion of its Practice Manager, Lindsey Connolly, to Director and Chief Operations Officer.
This appointment marks a significant milestone for the firm, with Lindsey becoming the first non-solicitor Director in its history, following Thomas Flavell & Sons’ recent conversion to an Alternative Business Structure (ABS). The move allows the firm to welcome non-solicitors into senior leadership roles and reflects its commitment to building a diverse, balanced and forward-thinking board.
Lindsey joined Thomas Flavell & Sons ten years ago, bringing with her a wealth of experience gained at a Leicestershire-based law firm. There, she progressed from office junior to practice manager, overseeing 12 branch offices and more than 150 staff. Since joining TFS, Lindsey has played a key role in the firm’s growth and day-to-day operations, earning widespread respect across the business.
Her promotion reflects both her long-standing dedication and the firm’s confidence in her continued leadership as Thomas Flavell & Sons enters its next phase of development.
The firm’s transition to an ABS structure underlines its modern approach to business, providing greater flexibility to invest, innovate and explore additional services in the future.
Director Chris Stratford commented:
“Lindsey’s appointment as our first non-solicitor Director is a proud and important moment for the firm. Her commitment, experience and contribution over the past decade have been invaluable. Converting to an ABS allows us to recognise that strong leadership comes in many forms, and we’re excited about the positive impact this will have on the future of Thomas Flavell & Sons.”
Lindsey added:
“I’m incredibly proud to be appointed as the first non-solicitor Director at TFS. This is an exciting time for the firm and I’m grateful for the support and encouragement I’ve received from colleagues and mentors along the way. I’m looking forward to continuing to help shape the firm’s future and to seeing other non-solicitors join the board in years to come.”
