Summary

A firm with its headquarters in Hucclecote has promoted two staff members to equity partner. Dee & Griffin Solicitors has announced the promotion of Tom Jenkins and Kelly Dean to the role, as it continues its commitment to developing talent from within. Both Kelly and Tom have built their careers at Dee & Griffin, earning the trust of clients and colleagues alike.

Kelly joined the firm in 2018 and has since become a familiar face to clients across Gloucestershire. She now leads Dee & Griffin’s Cheltenham office, specialising in residential conveyancing. A graduate of UWE Bristol, Kelly holds a law degree and completed her Legal Practice Course before qualifying as a solicitor.

Kelly said: “I’m really pleased to have been appointed as an equity partner at Dee & Griffin. It’s lovely to have my hard work and dedication recognised and it is a significant milestone in my career.

I’m excited to contribute to the firm’s continued growth, support the development of our team, and continue providing the high level of service our clients expect.” Tom’s career is a testament to the opportunities available within the firm. Joining Dee & Griffin in 2017 as an 18-year-old office junior, he has progressed through several roles and offices before helping to establish the firm’s Dursley branch.

More recently, he led the launch of Dee & Griffin’s Worcester office as branch manager, specialising in conveyancing. A chartered legal executive, Tom’s appointment recognises years of hard work, commitment and professional development. Tom said: “I feel extremely proud and humbled to have been appointed as a partner.

It is something I have worked towards throughout my career and means a great deal to me.

I’m grateful for the trust my colleagues have placed in me and look forward to contributing even more to the firm’s future success, while continuing to provide the highest standard of service for our clients.” Julian Jenkins, managing partner at Dee & Griffin Solicitors, said: “It is a real pleasure to celebrate a new chapter in Dee & Griffin as we welcome Tom and Kelly into our business partnership.

This doesn’t just happen by chance. It happens when strengths complement each other, and when both sides are ready to aim higher together. “We have had the privilege of seeing both Tom and Kelly progress within Dee & Griffin, and what stands out is not just their professional achievements, but their integrity, creativity and dedication.
