The expansion strategy comes within a year of the firm acquiring its ABS licence from the Solicitors Regulation Authority Bocman 1973

Paul Devitt, an M&A specialist, makes the trip to EY (formerly known as Ernst & Young) with another Addleshaws partner, corporate specialist Richard Thomas. Mr Devitt has spent the last year advising on transactions, having given up the management role a year before it was due to end.
