Family law firm Watts McCray Lawyers has announced the appointment of its first non-lawyer equity partner, Anthony Hercok. Hercok is also the firm’s Chief Operating Officer and the move reflects the firm’s move to become a Multi-Disciplinary Practice (MDP).

Hercok provides management consultancy services to private clients and SMEs and the firm is hoping to develop a synergy between this workflow and the firm’s existing commercial and family law base.
Watts McCray managing partner Greg McCray said the appointment recognises the need for firms to continually improve and innovate in the client services sphere.  “Mr Hercok's appointment and the decision to become an MDP will help Watts McCray to remain a market leader,” McCray said.
