Bond Turner Celebrates International Women’s Day With Director Appointment

Solicitor Sara Stanger joins the Board of Directors alongside Samantha Moss, Dawn O’Brien, and Rachael Wong. Sara heads Bond Turner’s Clinical Negligence department in Liverpool, as well as playing an important role in delivering training initiatives. Sara will undertake directorial duties in addition to her existing role, extending her supervision into Professional Negligence, Large/Serious Loss and Complex Personal Injury across the entire firm. 

As Training Principal, Sara has led initiatives to support professional development at all levels and played an integral part in the recent launch of ‘The Anexo Academy’. The firmwide scheme aims to provide opportunities to external candidates and existing employees, supporting them to obtain a degree and achieve full legal qualification while at Bond Turner.  

As part of The Anexo Academy, training is offered through a variety of routes, working with notable education providers, and includes apprenticeships, training contracts and SQE pathways to name a few. Funding is available through Bond Turner and staff will be supported by colleagues and a dedicated training team. 

Sara Stanger said: “I am delighted to be given this fantastic opportunity to undertake a lead role within Bond Turner. As an experienced Solicitor, Training Principal and Head of Department, I am people-focused in my approach and will continue to nurture and support the next generation of lawyers, ensuring that our colleagues have the best environment to reach their potential and succeed here. The Anexo Academy is just one example of how we aim to support our people in their development, while ensuring that the firm retains and attracts candidates that share our values.” 

“I am looking forward to working alongside the firm’s management team to support the business and its people. With International Women’s Day taking place in March, it is inspiring to join a board of female Directors and it is a pleasure to be part of such a dedicated and knowledgeable team. We hope to set a positive example to aspiring lawyers as they continue to progress in the industry.” 

Director at Bond Turner, Samantha Moss, added: “Alongside her impressive Clinical Negligence background, Sara is our Training Principal and has done a superb job in establishing and running our training programme which gives fantastic opportunities for staff within Bond Turner. We wish Sara all the best in her new role and welcome her warmly as Director.”
