Devonshires has promoted four senior associates to partner, taking its total partner count to 68. The promotions include Rachel Jones, William O’Brien and Yaasica Hamilton-Haye in the construction team, alongside Hannah Keane in housing management & property litigation.
All four have developed their careers at the firm, with several having trained there. Jones joined as a paralegal in 2013 before qualifying, while O’Brien joined in 2017 from local government. Hamilton-Haye and Keane have also built strong practices advising on complex matters within their respective teams.
The promotions come amid a period of sustained growth for the firm, including the recent relocation of its Birmingham office to new premises. The move supports its continued expansion and client work across the Midlands and beyond.
Senior partner Mark London said: ‘I’m very pleased to welcome Rachel, William, Yaasica and Hannah to the partnership,’ adding that ‘their progression speaks to the strength of our teams and the confidence we have in the next generation of the firm’.
