He was a friend as well as a colleague, and he will be sorely missed across the firm. John has left an indelible imprint on the firm as well as the local legal community, and all of the staff at Waldrons are thankful for having had the opportunity to work alongside him.’
For the immediate future, Joseph Norton is the Acting Managing Director. Joseph heads up the firm’s Compensation Department and qualified at Waldrons in 2008.
