Devonshires—Andrew Cromb

Devonshires expands offering with appointment of tax partner Andrew Cromb

We are pleased to announce that Andrew Cromb has joined Devonshires as a Partner to establish a dedicated tax practice at the firm.

Andrew joins us from Linklaters and will be based in our London office. The appointment reflects our continued investment in areas where our clients’ needs are evolving, strengthening our ability to provide comprehensive and joined-up advice across practice disciplines.

With more than 15 years’ experience, Andrew advises on the tax aspects across corporate, real estate, and investment transactions. 

Andrew has worked with a range of organisations, including private equity firms, financial institutions, multinational businesses and housing associations.

The new tax practice will complement our existing expertise and enable us to bring specialist tax advice on matters in-house. This will provide our clients with access to tax related legal advice from the outset of structuring any given transaction.

Gary Grigor, Head of the Banking, Governance, Corporate & Employment department at Devonshires, said:

“Andrew’s appointment is an important step in the continued development of our team. Our clients are increasingly looking for advice across different practice disciplines, and having a dedicated in-house tax capability will strengthen the support we can provide. Andrew brings considerable experience and we’re very pleased to welcome him to Devonshires.”

Andrew Cromb said:

“I’m delighted to have joined Devonshires at such an exciting stage in its growth and am looking forward to contributing through building the firm’s tax capabilities. The firm's outstanding reputation in social housing and real estate, and the strength and ambition of its finance practice, provide an exciting platform to work with colleagues across the firm to develop a tax practice aligned with Devonshires’ established strengths and sector focus.”

Andrew’s appointment forms part of our continued investment in the firm’s areas of expertise, helping us respond to changing client needs and provide increasingly connected advice across disciplines.
