Simcocks Advocates is delighted to announce that during 2026 its staff will celebrate several long service milestones: 40 years for CEO Phil Games, 35 years for Director David Spencer, 30 years for Search Clerk Julie Moore, 25 years for Director Irini Newby, and 20 years for Advocates Winston Taylor and Kevin O’Loughlin.

In fact, retention of staff at the law practice is unusually high for the market.  Simcocks has five team members who have been with the company more than ten years, six who have clocked more than twenty years, three who have done more than thirty years and one who has been with Simcocks forty years.  This totals 350 years between the 15 longest serving people, or an average of 23 years’ service each.

The company recently had a night out to celebrate these amazing milestones with the staff.

Phil Games commented:

“I can hardly believe it’s been 40 years since I made the move to Howard Simcocks’ company to finish my articles, where I have learnt so much and built a career firmly rooted in people, and in providing a reliable service for our clients. That’s the key to any successful, fulfilling career: making meaningful connections.  The best thing about Simcocks, and my four decades here, is the focus on people.”
