The partners practice in a wide range of specialisms including corporate, financial services, dispute resolution and competition. The law firm said the appointments reflect the demand for legal services in sectors such as Technology, Built Environment, Health and Life Sciences.
Managing partner Declan Black commented: “What unites all our partners is a deep commercial understanding of the business sectors in which they operate, and a practical approach to giving clear legal advice.
