Celebrating Pitt & Moore team promotions

09 April 2025  

At Pitt & Moore, we’re proud to recognise our talented and hard-working team. Today, we're pleased to announce the promotions of three individuals - Robert Brinkworth, Oliver Jones-Allen, and Elly Fleming - each of whom has demonstrated excellence in their roles and are now stepping into the next chapter of their careers.

Robert Brinkworth – Promoted to Senior Solicitor

Robert’s promotion to Senior Solicitor within our litigation and dispute resolution team is a testament to his hard work, determination and the outstanding service he provides to clients.

In particular, Rob’s clients appreciate his ability to simplify often complex matters and his friendly yet professional communication style.

Oliver Jones-Allen – Promoted to Associate

Oliver’s promotion to Associate within our property team reflects his position as a true expert in his field.  He is passionate about assisting first-home buyers to realise their dream purchase – and it shows in the way that Oliver pulls out all the stops for his clients.

Oliver’s promotion to Associate is well deserved.

Elly Fleming – Promoted to Senior Associate and Leader of the Immigration Team

Elly leads our immigration team in every sense of the word. She is a regular presenter at national conferences and an avid producer of relevant articles and opinion pieces. Her nationally recognised expertise in this field is reflected in the fact that she is regularly asked to act as an expert witness providing opinions for immigration-related court matters.

Elly is passionate about her clients and her team – and we’re excited to see Elly continue to do so in this new capacity.
