A Bermuda law firm has promoted a litigation specialist to senior associate.

Jennifer Haworth, who works in MJM Ltd’s litigation and dispute resolution team, has been a barrister for nine years.

She said: “I am excited to be progressing professionally in a career I thoroughly enjoy.

“I am grateful to the directors of MJM for their invaluable support and show of confidence in me by this promotion.

“I look forward to continuing to work as part of a progressive legal team meeting the needs of our clients.”

Ms Haworth graduated from the University of Kent at Canterbury in the UK and competed her Bar vocational course at the Inns of Court School of Law in London before being called to the Bermuda Bar in 2006.

She acts for both local and international clients in a wide range of disputes, including banking, employment, commercial and insolvency cases and also has mediation and arbitration experience.

MJM director and litigation team head Alan Dunch said: “Jennifer has proven to be a most valuable member of the MJM litigation team and it has been a real pleasure to have her work closely with me in assisting clients in the resolution of their contentious matters.

“She is bright, thoughtful, articulate and compassionate when dealing with issues that are often both personal and emotional for those who are instructing us.

“She has a great future ahead of her and her elevation to the position of senior associate is richly deserved.”
