Law firm Davies & Partners Solicitors has promoted 
three senior solicitors in its Bristol office – Caroline Davies, Kerry Raymond and Kirsten Compton – to the position of legal director.
Caroline, pictured right, has worked for the firm since 2017 in both the land acquisition and disposal and planning departments, where she specialises in residential property development.
She advises national housebuilder clients on the acquisition and disposal of development land, including the sale of affordable housing.
Caroline is involved in both small-scale and large-scale developments across the South and South West, including YTL’s high-profile development of Filton Airfield.
Kirsten, pictured left, has worked in Davies & Partners’ commercial property department since also joining the firm in 2017 and will now head the growing commercial property team in its Gloucester office.
She is known for her extensive knowledge and specialisms in sales, purchases, leases and refinancing of commercial buildings. She advises clients across a variety of business sectors, including manufacturing, engineering, retail, leisure and hospitality.
There are double celebrations for Kerry, pictured below, who in addition to being promoted has also taken over as the head of department of its residential conveyancing team. 
Kerry advises a wide range of clients from those moving home or re-mortgaging their current property, to residential property investors adding to their residential property portfolio.
Davies and Partners chief executive Ewan Lockhart said: “Caroline, Kerry and Kirsten have provided considerable specialism to their individual departments over many years and they will all play a key role in supporting the firm’s continued growth plans during 2020.”
Davies & Partners Solicitors employs more than 200 staff in its offices in Bristol, Birmingham, Gloucester and London.
