David Walters joins the firm with nine successful years of direct family clerking experience and more than 16 years’ experience within family law.
He started his career at a specialist family law firm before moving into clerking.
David will lead the family clerking team with a focus on client service, strategic practice development, business development and continued growth.
Alongside David’s arrival, Kelly Fullwood has been promoted to first junior clerk.
Kelly will support David, the barristers and the solicitors who instruct the firm.
Joe Wilson, CEO and director of Clerking, said: “It is a real pleasure to welcome David to St Philips.
“He brings real depth of family law experience, strong leadership and an excellent understanding of what client’s need from a modern clerking team.
“His background, including his early experience within a family law firm, gives him a valuable perspective on client service and practice development.
“David’s arrival, together with Kelly’s well-earned promotion to First Junior Clerk, gives us a strong, stable and ambitious clerking structure for the Family Group.
“This is about continuity, but it is also about looking forward. Our Family Group has an exceptional reputation, and this new structure will allow us to build on that strength and continue delivering the responsive, practical and client-focused service for which St Philips is known.”
