A boutique law firm of exceptional quality and talent where clients' and lawyers' interests are aligned by collaboration and innovation
The appointments of Jo Higham as Partner and Felicia Persis as Associate bring the total number of fee earners in the team to 26, making it one of the firm's strongest specialisms.
Co-founder and Chief Executive, Karen Bexley, described the news as another indication of Bexley Beaumont's commitment to deliver "flexibility and excellence" for clients whatever their needs.
The latest recruitment follows a busy first quarter of the year for the firm, which has seen it become one of the few legal practices in the country to secure B-Corp certification.
Ms Bexley said: "We have made remarkable progress in terms of assembling a very talented group of very experienced and very capable lawyers across a broad range of disciplines which are so important to our clients.
"Nevertheless, we are certainly not content to simply admire our achievements to date and will continue to add those individuals and those skills who we believe can provide even better service for those who rely on us.
"Both Jo and Felicia add even more skills to make us even more formidable and illustrate just why those in our Real Estate team have been so much in demand.
"They also show how the appeal of our model is undimmed for experienced and more junior lawyers, even those who have spent time working with much larger traditional practices."
Ms Higham joins after spells with a number of familiar regional and national legal brands, such as Napthens and Forbes.
During her career, she has amassed considerable experience advising SMEs, institutional clients and commercial property investors on acquisitions, disposals, leases, licenses and portfolio management.
Since qualifying four years ago, London-based Felicia has specialised in both residential and commercial property disputes.
Ms Bexley outlined how Ms Persis exemplified the flexibility of Bexley Beaumont's approach by being both an accomplished litigator and a keen proponent of non-court dispute resolution (NCDR) to help clients resolve issues while managing delays and costs.
The appointments amount to yet more clear evidence of the firm's unbroken momentum.
In January, Bexley Beaumont was buoyed by the news that it had become one of only 38 law firms nationwide to become a B-Corp.
It achieved the prestigious international standard for sustainability and governance after a rigorous two-year assessment, recording one of the highest scores of any qualifying legal practice in England and Wales in the process.
Last month, the strong performance of the Real Estate team resulted in Bethan Watt's promotion to Legal Director just 12 months after she joined the firm and the recruitment of paralegal Chantelle Leon.
That news also coincided with the promotion of Phil Miles to Partner in its Corporate team - a development which Ms Bexley again attributed to the steadily increasing volume of work handled by Mr Miles and his colleagues for companies both large and small nationwide.
