Practice Managers

Devereux’s clerks are always willing to advise on the suitability and availability of counsel and to discuss fee structures, packages and budgets. We believe that our continued success is down to our high-quality legal expertise, competitive rates, our down-to-earth approach, and a focus on delivering excellent client service.
