Blake Morgan appoints joint heads of office in Wales
Law firm Blake Morgan has appointed two partners as co-heads of office in Wales.
Daniela Smith and Lee Fisher will take on the joint leadership of Blake Morgan’s Cardiff office from 1 May 2026, representing the first time the role has been shared in the firm’s history.
The pair bring a combined total of more than 50 years’ experience at the firm between them, with the appointment marking the passing of the baton from Eve Piffaretti, who has led the Wales office for more than seven years.
Eve Piffaretti said:
It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to support and champion this office, its people, clients, and communities for more than seven years. I’m delighted to hand over to Daniela and Lee, given their genuine, long-standing contribution and commitment to the firm’s success in Wales. I have no doubt they will take the office from strength to strength in the years ahead. I look forward to supporting them and know that they will excel in the role.
Daniela Smith said: “It’s a privilege to step into this role alongside Lee at such an exciting time for the office and for Wales. I’ve spent my entire career here, and my commitment to the firm has only deepened over time. I’m looking forward to building on everything Eve has created and to making sure this office continues to be somewhere people are proud to work.”
Lee Fisher added: “Daniela and I have complementary practices and a shared set of values, so I’m genuinely excited about what we can do together. Eve leaves a remarkable legacy, not just through her hard work but in the culture she’s built, of which Blake Morgan is understandably proud. Our job is to honour that and keep pushing it forward. Wales has a fantastic business community, and I want Blake Morgan to continue to be right at the heart of it.”
