The award-winning firm, which has offices in Shrewsbury, Telford, Bridgnorth and Church Stretton as well as across Birmingham and the West Midlands – says the move comes amid a period of sustained growth.
The latest promotions see a trio of solicitors based at the firm’s Shrewsbury offices – Adam Davies, Olivia Jones and Megan Price – all become partners.
Commercial Property specialist Adam has spent a decade with the firm and is an expert in all aspects of the sector, including sales, purchase and leases of commercial premises.

Megan works in the Agricultural and Rural Services team where she specialises in land and rural property law and has experience in sales, purchases, secured lending, leases, easements, covenants and first registrations of title. She is a member of the Agricultural Law Association.
In Telford, Kate Rowley is also promoted to partner. Kate, a member of the firm’s Family department, is an expert in all aspects of family law including, divorce and financial issues, children issues and cohabitation matters. She is a member of the Family Law organisation Resolution which aims to resolve family issues in a constructive way.
Meanwhile her Telford Family team colleague Chloe Turner is promoted to an associate having joined the firm as an apprentice solicitor in 2017 and qualifying in 2023. She acts for clients in all aspects of family law including divorce and financial issues, children issues and cohabitation matters.
Chief executive Neil Lloyd said the promotions demonstrated the huge strength in depth of the FBC Manby Bowdler team and the firm’s commitment to investing in the very best talent.
“We are undergoing a period of strong growth, having become a founding member of the Adeptio law Group and have opened new offices in Birmingham, Knowle and Wolverhampton.
“The key to all our success is the excellence of our people and these promotions are just an indication of the huge depth of talent we now have across the firm. I am delighted for everybody involved and wish them continued success in the future.”
The Adeptio Law Group has been established to create a major national legal services platform. FBC Manby Bowdler is one of the region’s most successful law firms, employing more than 240 people and with plans to double its size in the coming years.
