Davies and Partners Solicitors has announced that Nigel Tillott, will be taking over the role of Managing Partner for the firm’s Gloucester office.

Nigel joined Davies and Partners in 1990 and is Partner and Head of the Employment Team and he also undertakes mediation and compliance work.  He is taking over the role of Managing Partner from Adrian Smith who is stepping down after having been heavily involved in management of the Gloucester office since the firm’s inception in 1988. Adrian will now focus on his role as head of Land Development.

Davies and Partners was launched in Gloucester in April 1988 and in the following years it expanded to open a further two offices in Bristol and Birmingham. During that time it has seen its turnover grow ten-fold and it is has become one of the leading law firms in the South West and Midlands.

Nigel is delighted to be taking on this new position, he said, “It is a real honour to have been asked to take on the role of Managing Partner of the Gloucester office which has a great team of lawyers and staff.  I am proud to have been a part of the firm’s growth in Gloucester over the years and to have seen the business become a strong employer in the region.  I am extremely grateful to Adrian for all his successful and often unnoticed work during his tenure as Managing Partner.  It will be a hard act to follow.  I am passionate about the firm and indeed Gloucester and the surrounding area and I look forward to working in my new role both with the firm’s staff and the Gloucester business community.”
