Freeths has appointed Marcus Devanny as a partner in its award-winning real estate team, further enhancing its expertise in property transactions. Devanny, who joins from Shoosmiths, brings over 20 years of experience advising institutional landlords, corporate investors, and occupiers on acquisitions, disposals, and lettings. ‘I am extremely pleased to be joining Freeths during such an exciting period of growth,’ he says.
Joining Devanny is senior associate Becky Staunton, also from Shoosmiths, who will work alongside the Oxford real estate team and national head of real estate Darren Williamson. ‘The wealth of experience they bring will complement our strategy and enhance our renowned service delivery,’ says Patrick Whetter, partner and head of Oxford real estate.
The appointments follow a series of lateral hires for the real estate team, including partner Stephen Crook joining the firm’s Manchester office earlier this year.
