Devonshires promotes eight to partner in 2022 promotion round

Law firm Devonshires has promoted eight solicitors to partner in its annual promotions round.

Four solicitors are promoted in the firm’s real estate & projects team: Charlotte Sawyer, David Bullock, Philip Evans, and Stavrina Tofallis.

From housing management and property litigation, Samantha Grix, Hetal Ruparelia, and Anna Bennett are promoted, as is Karen Morean in the firm’s construction team.

The firm now has 51 partners.

The promotions come after the firm last month launched an office in Birmingham with the arrival of Gemma Bell from Penningtons Manches Cooper, together with three other lawyers specialising in advising on corporate, regulatory and governance issues.

Philip Barden, senior partner of Devonshires, said: “Congratulations to all eight of our newly-promoted partners. The future success of the firm will be in their hands, so it is gratifying and reassuring to welcome ambitious, driven and hard-working lawyers to the partnership. It’s an exciting time for us.”
