Commercial law firm Bevan Brittan has kicked off 2025 with a new partner appointment, adding further depth to its growing employment, pensions and immigration department.
Pensions specialist Joel Eytle is joining the business from DLA Piper, bringing 20 years’ experience of supporting organisations across a number of different sectors.
Joel advises on the full range of pension law and transactions and supports employers, investors, trustee clients and pension scheme providers. Having worked for two years at the Financial Conduct Authority, he also has an interest in the regulatory aspects of pension matters.
Based in the London office, Joel will be leading the firm’s national pensions team. The experts work nationally for central and local government, independent health and care, NHS, commercial, insurance, housing and higher education clients, as well as private sector occupational pension schemes.
Jodie Sinclair, senior partner at Bevan Brittan and head of its employment, pensions and immigration department, said: 'Welcoming our latest partner hire—and the fourth new partner to join the department in 15 months—is a fantastic way to start 2025.
'Joel brings considerable experience across a range of our chosen markets, adding further depth to our sector and subject matter specialisms for which we are market leaders, and boosting the level of support that we can provide to our growing client base.
'I am delighted that Joel is our first new partner of 2025. Given our year-on-year growth, and as we look ahead to our next five year strategy, I am confident that we will continue to attract strong laterals who want to be part of a firm that focuses on important sectors and delivers meaningful outcomes for its clients.'
