Bristol-headquartered law firm Veale Wasbrough Vizards (VWV) has promoted healthcare specialist Oliver Pool to partner. The appointment comes hot on the heels of recent growth in the healthcare team including the appointment of partner Paul Werrell and its merger with London-based healthcare practice Lockharts in January. 
Having trained with Macfarlanes in London, Oliver, pictured, joined VWV in 2005. He acts mainly for GP partnerships on a wide range of commercial matters including partnership deeds, disputes and contracts. Respected legal directory Chambers describes him as “knowledgeable and resourceful”.
VWV managing partner Simon Heald said: “Oliver has been a key member of the healthcare team for many years and has been pivotal in achieving the reputation and growth we have.
“The healthcare team continues to go from strength to strength and this has been recognised by Chambers. The directory has ranked the healthcare team in Band 1 – the highest ranking and five out of seven named lawyers are from VWV, including Oliver.”
