Promotion for Philip Lee’s Patrick Butler

Commercial-law firm Philip Lee LLP has promoted Patrick Butler to head of corporate-secretarial services.

Butler founded the department, and the firm describes him as the “cornerstone and driving force” behind its creation and success.

Philip Lee says that the promotion recognises Butler’s “dedication and hard work in establishing and growing this practice area for our clients”.

“His unwavering commitment, strategic leadership and client‑focused approach have not only shaped the department from the ground up, but have also significantly expanded our offering and impact,” the firm adds.

Butler, an experienced company secretary, holds a Certificate in Company Secretarial Law and Practice from the Law Society.
