Celebrating Our New Partners

May 2026

We are delighted to announce that, with effect from 1 May, HGF has promoted five colleagues to Partner. This important milestone recognises not only their individual achievements and leadership, but also the continued strength, growth and momentum of our business.

Please join us in congratulating our newly promoted Partners:
These promotions are particularly significant in reflecting HGF’s commitment to excellence across the entire firm. By recognising both attorney and operational leadership, we reinforce our belief that long‑term success is built on collaboration, innovation and high performance in every part of the business.
Owain, John and Robert have each demonstrated exceptional technical expertise, client focus and leadership within their respective practice areas, making a significant contribution to the continued success of our attorney teams. Alongside this, the promotion of Jen and James highlights the vital role of operational leadership in driving sustainable growth, strengthening client relationships and shaping the future direction of the firm.
Recognising both fee‑earning and operational Partners underlines our ongoing commitment to investing in our people and developing a diverse, forward‑looking leadership team. It also reflects HGF’s integrated approach, where legal excellence is supported by strong strategic, commercial and transformational capabilities.
Huge congratulations to Owain, John, Robert, Jen and James.
