Law firm Devonshires has promoted five solicitors to partner, taking the number of partners at the firm to 53.

Solicitors Rachel Orgill-Harris and Natalie Swales have been promoted in the firm’s banking, corporate and governance team.

Carlos Fernandes, from the property securitisation team, Joanna Bouloux, from real estates and projects, and Pauline Lépissier, from litigation and dispute resolution, have also been promoted.

Devonshires has recently taken on twelve new trainee solicitors, taking the number of trainees at the firm to 33.

Devonshires senior partner Philip Barden commented: 'Congratulations to all five of our newly promoted partners. They are all excellent solicitors with a passion for getting the best possible outcome for their clients. 

'I’m delighted that these recent promotions also take our female partner count to over 45% demonstrating our ambition to attract and develop a diverse workforce. The future success of the firm will be in their hands, so it is gratifying and reassuring to welcome ambitious, driven and hard-working lawyers to the partnership at an exciting time of growth for us.'

Last year the firm opened an office in Birmingham.
