Emma Feltham joins as a Senior Associate within the Residential Development Team. She brings a wealth of experience from a large regional firm, where she honed her skills representing a diverse range of clients, including developers, landowners, and investors. A graduate of the University of Southampton and The University of Law, Emma specialises in navigating the complexities of development projects, working closely with clients to deliver tailored, commercial solutions. As part of the Residential Development Team, she will provide expert advice on acquisitions, overage, option agreements, disposals and development finance.

 

Carrie Butterworth joins the Family Team as a Chartered Legal Executive and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives. With over 10 years of experience, she specialises in advising and assisting on a wide range of family law matters, such as divorce and separation, financial settlements, cohabitation issues for unmarried couples, injunction proceedings, and child arrangement matters. Carrie’s professional and practical approach ensures clients feel supported and receive clear, constructive advice.

 

Nicki Beswarick assumes the role of Marketing Manager, leading strategic marketing initiatives. She will collaborate closely with Managing Partner, Jennifer Rogerson, team leaders, and the Board. With over 14 years of expertise in brand management and team leadership, Nicki combines data-driven insights with empathetic storytelling to create impactful campaigns that resonate with target audiences and drives measurable business growth. She has a Diploma in Professional Marketing and is a member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing.

 

Jennifer Rogerson, Managing Partner, commented:

“We’re delighted to welcome Emma, Carrie, and Nicki to Steele Raymond, who will provide valuable expertise and support to our Residential Development, Family, and Marketing teams.

“Emma, Carrie, and Nicki’s expertise in their respective fields will further strengthen the legal services we provide to our clients regionally, nationally, and internationally.”

 

These new hires are the latest additions to Steele Raymond’s fast-growing team. The firm recently announced plans to open a new office in Southampton in March 2025 to support its ambitious growth strategy. Over the past five years, Steele Raymond has nearly doubled in size and is ranked a ‘top tier’ law firm by the Legal 500, an independent guide to the legal profession.
