Liz has regularly appeared in Chambers Guide to the UK Legal Profession which describes her as “earning great respect from her clients”.

Areas Liz advises on include:

• Shareholders' agreements and company constitutional documentation
• Company and group reorganisations
• Corporate governance and company formations
• Mergers, acquisitions and disposals
• Secured lending
• Management buy-ins/ buy-outs

Paul is an award winning sales and marketing expert. He has worked at some of the world’s most successful professional services businesses including international and national law firms helping them to stand out from competitors and bring on board and retain clients.  

Peter Doyle, Managing Partner comments -

“I’m pleased with both appointments and would like to welcome Liz and Paul to the firm. Liz’s expertise further expands our services and helps to cement our position as the UK’s leading and largest independent Workplace law firm. Paul’s experience of client acquisition, developing new services as well as communications, particularly in explaining how we differ to competitors in a way that clients and contacts find valuable, will help the firm continue to grow. They have joined at a very exciting time for the business and we will continue to actively recruit the very best legal advisers, specialist consultants and other professionals.”
