Roythornes Solicitors welcomes new CEO

UK top 150 law firm Roythornes Solicitors has announced the appointment of Adam White as its new CEO, highlighting a significant step in the firm’s growth journey. Adam, who comes to the firm from Barclays with 15 years of experience, is expected to enhance the firm’s expertise in agriculture, landed estates, and compliance. This strategic appointment aligns with Roythornes' ambitions as it embarks on a five-year growth plan, which recently included the opening of a new office in Langham, Colchester.

As Adam takes on his new role, he will collaborate closely with the firm's managing partner Vember Mortlock, who is set to take a sabbatical later this year. Vember's planned transition away from daily operations provides Adam with a unique opportunity to lead the firm into its next phase. Emphasising the importance of maintaining independence in an era of rising private equity investment in the legal sector, Vember asserts that "Roythornes is committed to remaining independent, maintaining its collaborative culture, and focusing on long-term client relationships."

Adam's priorities will revolve around nurturing robust client relationships, particularly in the agricultural sector, while providing strategic advice in areas pertaining to sustainable regulation and business growth. His external perspective and wealth of experience will be vital in adding value to the firm's operations, further establishing Roythornes as a trusted advisor in both the legal and banking sectors.

The firm is excited about this new chapter under Adam's leadership and is keen to advance its reputation and client services.
