New all-female board at Hilary Meredith Solicitors

Hilary Meredith Solicitors Ltd, which was recently granted alternative business structure (ABS) status by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, has announced its new, all-female board—CEO Hilary Meredith (pictured), managing director Stevie Tatton, and director Clare Stevens.

On the decision to appoint an all female board, Hilary Meredith says: “Boards are often criticised for being male dominated—with similar backgrounds, education and networks. Our board is different—although we also have a number of senior, high calibre male lawyers in the business and all our appointments are made on merit.”.
