Property and planning law firm and strategic planning advisors Devello Group has expanded to larger premises, taking space at Wellington House in Nottingham.
The practice has also recruited Charlotte Denny as a paralegal and Michelle Christian as real estate executive, taking the team to seven.
Set up by friends and former colleagues Shruti Trivedi and Iain Hibbert 18 months ago, Devello has experienced high demand for its unique approach to property and planning law since its inception, and having now built a team, the company had outgrown its previous location.
Wellington House, on Wellington Circus, is in the professional quarter of Nottingham and is owned and managed by work space provider Charterspace.
The move marks a new chapter for Devello as Wellington House provides a more contemporary and flexible work environment with room for the future growth of the practice.
CEO of Devello, Iain, said: “I’d firstly like to welcome Charlotte and Michelle to the team – they join at a great time as we move office. Wellington House is a beautiful period property that offers the facilities we now require as our business moves forward. With a sleek internal fit out, flexible work spaces and prominent location in the heart of the business community, it’s the ideal location for us.
“From our new address we want to continue to build on our reputation and to deliver great results for our clients, which Charlotte and Michelle will be part of. We set out to create measured, organic growth that is built from the results we strive for. Thanks to Jas at Charterspace for his assistance on this move.”
Managing director of Devello, Shruti, said: “This is a fantastic step for our team as we continue on our journey, with our ethos remaining to put the client first through accessibility, responsiveness and diligence. As part of our growth strategy, we’re building our practice to provide our clients the best possible service and our new location is part of that strategy.
“I’d like to thank our team for their commitment and energy, and our supportive clients and wider industry contacts, and of course welcome Charlotte and Michelle who are already real assets to our team.”
Devello offers high-level strategic advisory to developers, landowners, promoters, investors and others in the planning and development sectors.
Jas Landa, director of Charterspace, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Devello to Wellington House, our latest office space. This beautifully renovated period property blends historic charm with modern functionality. Situated in the heart of Nottingham’s prestigious professional quarter, it offers an ideal setting for ambitious businesses like Devello to thrive.
“Shruti and Iain have built something truly special. Their reputation for delivering sharp, strategic advice with a refreshingly client-focused approach is clear to see. We’re proud to support their next chapter and excited to have such a dynamic and forward-thinking team as part of our growing community.”
As well as growing their team and portfolio, the co-founders are committed to supporting good causes in the communities it operates in. Since the company began, Shruti has become a Trustee of Nottingham young people’s charity Base 51 and been appointed as Governor at Boston College. The team also mentor women through the Women in Planning Network.
Devello is actively recruiting property legal professional of all levels to the team.
