Pinsent Masons has hired two property partners from rival Eversheds as the top 20 UK firm last week went live with its conversion to a limited liability partnership (LLP).

Eversheds’ Leeds property head Gerry Mulholland is set to join Pinsents’ Leeds arm as a partner in the property team. He will be joined by planning and compulsory purchase specialist Bob Pritchard, who is a senior associate at Eversheds’ Leeds arm.
