Capsticks, a leading national law firm in the health, housing, regulatory, emergency services and local government sectors, is pleased to announce that, following an uncontested election, Rachael Heenan has been reappointed as Senior Partner for a further term of four years. Her next term will begin on 1 May 2025, following the completion of her first two four-year terms.

Rachael will continue to lead the firm alongside Managing Partner, Martin Hamilton, who in 2022 was re-elected for a third term until May 2026.

Throughout their leadership Rachael and Martin have worked with colleagues to transform the firm - acting for clients who make a difference, increasing annual turnover from £35m to £72m and achieving recognition as an outstanding place to work from Best Companies, the leading workplace engagement specialists.

Rachael commented:-

"I am really grateful to Capsticks for allowing me to continue in the best job in the world. We have achieved a lot over the last nearly 8 years and there is still loads more to do. Capsticks really wants to make an impact supporting clients who make a difference in the world and alongside this, helping colleagues at Capsticks progress their careers is the most satisfying part of the job. It feels like we have only just got going and I am excited about what else we might achieve together as we launch a strategy refresh for May 2025."

Martin Hamilton, Managing Partner commented:-

"I’m absolutely delighted that Rachael has been reappointed for a further term to continue to lead Capsticks through to 2029. Rachael’s reappointment is testament both to the confidence the firm places in her leadership, and to the confidence our clients consistently place in her as their go-to adviser. I’m really looking forward to continuing to work with Rachael, with Capsticks’ strategy refresh a priority as we put our plans in place for the next exciting phase for the business."
