Midlands law firm MFG Solicitors (MFG) has announced a series of
promotions with the appointments of two new partners and an
associate.
Telford-based Tom Devey has been promoted to partner within the
firm's Rural and Agricultural Division. A farm and landed estate
specialist, Tom joined the firm in 2002 and advises clients on
intricate rural and agricultural matters such as Single Farm
Payments, land sales and acquisitions, field sports and large-scale
Land Registry applications. Tom also acts as legal advisor to
Shropshire's revered Fordhall Community Land Initiative.
The Corporate Division's Alex Hall has also been promoted to
partner. Based in Kidderminster, Alex joined MFG in 2007 and
specialises in corporate, commercial and charity law. During his
four years with the firm, Alex, a former police officer, has
developed a widely-admired niche practice acting for dental
practices, doctors surgeries and other healthcare businesses.
Also promoted is Kidderminster-based Helen Branson who is now an
associate. A Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified
Accountants, Helen has been with MFG since 2003 and is currently
the firm's finance director.
Chairman at MFG Solicitors, Maynard Burton said: "Tom and Alex
have all the qualities the modern legal partner must have and both
have made a significant contribution to the growth of the firm.
They are both talented and respected and I have no doubt their hard
work and first-rate reputations will benefit our firm as we move
forward into an exciting future.
"Helen, meanwhile, is held in extremely high regard within MFG
and I'm positive she will continue to make an impact. She has an
immense knowledge of accounting practises which not only continues
to benefit the firm internally, but will now assist our clients on
a far broader level."
Mr Burton added: "These are three high calibre appointments and
add even more depth to the talent we have here at MFG. Their
well-deserved promotions help illustrate the brilliant team behind
the firm's ongoing success."
