On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Bhavesh Amlani with Roythornes' MD Vember Mortlock

Expanding Midlands law firm Roythornes has secured the services of legal heavyweight Bhavesh Amlani.

Amlani, who was formerly a sector head at Shoosmiths, will head up Roythornes’ national property team. He will also sit on the firm’s board.

Senior associates Benjamin Smith and Emily Danson and senior paralegal Sarah Ward have also joined from Shoosmiths.

Amlani said: “Roythornes has a fantastic reputation in the real estate sector with reputable clients and I am looking forward to adding value across the whole business.

“Roythornes is a well-known and rapidly growing company with excellent strength and breadth of property expertise. It has a solid East Midlands base and a growing presence in Cambridgeshire. It is also debt free and has the agility to adapt quickly to client and market needs. My move to Roythornes creates a perfect synergy between the East and West Midlands among both new and existing clients.”
