On being promoted to Partner, Philip said,

“I am really pleased to be taking up this appointment. Lake Falconer and the PEM partners have entrusted, equipped and empowered me since I joined the practice in 2017, and I’m excited and proud to be joining such an exceptional partner group. Despite the recent challenges posed by the pandemic to clients, communities and the economy, PEMCF has remained busy over the last 12 months and our pipeline remains strong, and I am looking forward to building on our recent transactional activity.”

Lake Falconer, Partner at PEMCF and who established the firm in 2004, said,

“I would like to congratulate Philip on his well-deserved promotion. He has worked hard to establish himself in the Cambridge market and indeed wider afield.
