The 14 promotions in Birmingham are in addition to a further 30 promotions across Gateley’s Manchester, Leeds, London, Reading, Guildford, Leicester, and Nottingham offices. Rod Waldie, partner and CEO of Gateley, said: “We have always been committed to developing the talent we have within our business and that remains equally important during challenging times.

“All of our promotions are extremely well deserved, and those colleagues have all shown a determination to be forward thinking and go above and beyond for the business and their clients. Alongside that each of them has demonstrated, in abundance, our Gateley Team Spirit which are our shared values that underpin our culture at Gateley. I’m delighted that we are able to recognise them for their efforts in this way.”

Gateley’s Birmingham office is home to a mix of legal professionals, accountants, and chartered surveyors. Over the last 12 months, the team have acted for some of the region’s best-known brands including advising Gymshark on all aspects of a minority investment by General Atlantic, advising on the sale of Chase Distillery to Diageo and advising on compulsory purchase arrangement around the implementation of HS2.
