Elliot Mather LLP Announces Appointment of New Designated Member

Elliot Mather LLP is delighted to announce the appointment of Sarah Neale as a designated member of the firm.

Elliot Mather LLP continues to demonstrate its commitment to growth and excellence with the appointment of Sarah Neale as a Designated Member. Sarah has been with the firm for 20 years initially training and working in the Criminal Department before moving to strengthen the care Department in 2020. From Trainee Solicitor to Designated Member, Sarah has demonstrated the key skills of integrity, legal knowledge, business acumen and excellent client care which mean she is perfect to help successfully steer the Firm as it moves forward in these ever-changing times.

Commenting on her appointment, Sarah Neale said: "I am thrilled about stepping into this new role and diving deeper into the business. It's an honour and a privilege to have been invited to become a Designated Member after being with the firm for 20 years. Elliot Mather really lives up to its values of investing, nurturing, and developing employees throughout their careers, and I'm a great example of how they support and provide opportunities for growth. This is something I have aspired to for a long time and I'm eager to get started and continue contributing to the firm's success."

Julie Page, Managing Partner and LLP member of the firm, expressed her enthusiasm about Sarah's appointment: "Sarah has been at Elliot Mather since she was a Trainee Solicitor and has shown the highest levels of commitment and dedication initially as a Criminal Solicitor and more recently as a Panel Accredited Care Solicitor. I am so pleased that Sarah has accepted equity with the Firm and I know she will be an instrumental part in the future success of Elliot Mather LLP."

Sarah's appointment as a Designated Member is a testament to Elliot Mather LLP's dedication to investing in its employees and fostering their professional growth. The firm looks forward to Sarah's continued contributions and the positive impact she will have in her new role.

Julie Page

LLP Member and Head of Department

Julie joined Elliot Mather as a Trainee Solicitor in 1992 having studied for a Law Degree at the University of East Anglia and completed her Legal Practice Course at Chester. Throughout her legal career she has worked almost exclusively within the Criminal Department at our offices in Mansfield, Matlock and now Chesterfield.

Julie has been a member of the Duty Solicitor Scheme for over 20 years and has represented hundreds of clients either detained at a police station or appearing in the Magistrates and Crown Courts across the East Midlands. She has advised and represented clients charged with everything from minor road traffic matters to extremely serious allegations including rape, drug supply and murder. Julie particularly enjoys representing young people who, for reasons often beyond their control, find themselves in the Criminal Justice System. It is here that her intervention can often have the greatest impact.

In 2017 Julie assumed the role of Managing Partner having been Deputy Managing Partner since 2013. Working closely with our Chief Operations Officer Alan Grant and our Deputy Managing Partner Natalia Delgado, she is responsible for setting the strategic aims of Elliot Mather LLP and helping to steer the Firm in the direction of those aims. This is an exciting and challenging role especially as Elliot Mather continues to grow and expand into new markets.

As part of her Management responsibilities Julie is the Firm’s Compliance Officer for Legal Practice meaning she has responsibility for the firm's risk management systems and controls. She is also our Training Principle and as such, has responsibility for overseeing the development of our Trainee Solicitors. Elliot Mather has always recognised, not only the importance, but also the strong business case for recruiting, training and retaining the lawyers of the future.
