Law firm gears up for expansion following year of growth

Devello Group, a property and planning law firm, is planning to expand its team in 2025 after a year of growth.

Founded by Shruti Trivedi and Iain Hibbert, the firm operates on the principle of building trusted client relationships rather than relying on traditional hourly billing.

Currently, the team consists of five employees, with recent additions including a paralegal and a solicitor apprentice in late 2024.

As Devello continues to grow, it plans to make at least three new hires this year to help meet the demands of its expanding client base.

The firm has offices in Nottingham and Lincoln.

Trivedi said: “Reaching this milestone is fantastic and a testament to the work of our team. A huge thank you to our clients who choose to work with us in what we call a holistic business partnership. The last 12 months have been incredible – with our focus on creating a business that puts client experience and team culture first.

“Having previously been in traditional law companies, Iain and I particularly wanted to support those who need flexibility in the workplace such as working parents and carers, as well as investing in young people, as we have with our apprentice. Our focus for the next 12 months and beyond is to help our clients navigate projects, nurture our team as they develop as young professionals, and support Base 51 and other good local causes that make a real difference in the community.”
