In addition, two individuals have been promoted to the role of legal director, both based in Bristol; Richard Hiscoke (commercial and infrastructure); and Anne Palmer (litigation, advisory and regulatory).

We are also committed to a positive environment at Bevan Brittan where progression and opportunity is based simply on talent and merit which has been clearly demonstrated in these latest, well-deserved, promotions.’
