National law firm Bevan Brittan LLP has strengthened its burgeoning corporate team in Birmingham with the hire of a senior lawyer from Wragge & Co.

Sarah Shilcof joins the firm as a Senior Associate. A highly experienced practitioner, she will work in tandem with Partner Sarah Cartwright, who heads up the corporate team in Birmingham.

With a broad range of skills and experience and a particular focus on private equity, Sarah will also support Bevan Brittan’s national corporate practice, which continues to make a name for itself in the private sector with a growing client base of blue-chip and FTSE companies.

The appointment marks Bevan Brittan’s third hire in succession from Wragge & Co following the arrivals of Associate Paul Kirkpatrick and solicitor Andrew Wood, who both joined the Commercial Litigation practice in Birmingham earlier this year.

Commenting on the appointment, Sarah Cartwright said: “We are delighted to welcome a corporate lawyer of Sarah’s calibre to the firm. This hire is further evidence of Bevan Brittan’s continued investment into building and maintaining a high-quality corporate team.”
