Bevan Brittan—28 promotions

Five new partners among latest promotion round

The managing partner of national law firm Bevan Brittan has described its latest round of promotions as reflective of a successful year and plans for future growth.

28 colleagues have been promoted across the business, representing all of Bevan Brittan’s legal departments and its four offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds and London.

The figure, which includes five new Partners, four Legal Directors, 10 Senior Associates and nine Associates, is among the highest number of promotions the firm has made in a single year.

The promotions build on 31 senior lateral hires, including four new partners, who have joined the business in the last 12 months as the firm worked towards achieving its tenth consecutive year of revenue and profit growth in the 22/23 financial year.

Bevan Brittan’s managing partner Duncan Weir (pictured) said: 'There is no denying that economic pressures this year have created challenges and uncertainty, but yet again we have risen to the challenge. These promotions recognise the significant contributions that these colleagues have made to our business. Together with our wider teams, including the new recruits who have joined us over the past 12 months, these promotions will help to provide the strength and depth that we need to achieve our ambitious targets and drive the business forward over the coming year.'
