Collyer Bristow senior associate Mark Harrop has been elected chair of London Young Resolution (YRes), a network for family law professionals at the start of their careers.

YRes is part of Resolution, the leading membership group which supports over 6,500 family lawyers and other professionals committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes.

Harrop says: “YRes was created to provide a forum for junior family lawyers of all backgrounds to share their experiences, concerns and ideas, ask questions, and develop skills and knowledge in a friendly and supportive environment. In this era of government and legal aid cuts and court fee rises, junior lawyers from all areas of family law practice need more than ever to be able to meet, talk and share experiences with their peers.”
