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.
