A PRESTON rising star has become the youngest partner at one of the city’s emerging law firms at the age of 30.
Sadiq Vohra has been promoted to the partnership at leading Lancashire law firm MWR Solicitors, which is based on Cannon Street, Preston.
Sadiq, who lives in Preston with his wife, also a solicitor, entered the profession in 1997 when he joined MWR as part of his legal studies.
He quickly progressed through the firm’s ranks and achieved solicitor status in 2000, soon becoming an integral part of MWR’s employment law team, which he now heads.
As part of MWR’s work with trade unions, Sadiq has represented members of the Bakers and Allied Food Workers Union and Transport & General Workers Union across a range of employment related matters, such as unfair dismissal, sexual harassment and redundancy.
Sadiq said: “It’s great to be part of a firm which recognises and rewards the efforts of its members. I am privileged to be working alongside some very talented legal professionals who have helped me right from the start of my career and I look forward to this next chapter.”
Commenting on his promotion, Jane Booker, partner, said: “Sadiq’s enthusiasm and commitment has been unwavering since he joined the firm eight years ago. He is now a vital member of the firm and his track record in representing our clients is first class.
“This promotion highlights how committed the firm is to investing in the progress and development of its members. We are delighted for Sadiq.”
