Ten proves magic number as Browne Jacobson continues to expand
25 September 2008
Browne Jacobson’s growth continues apace with
the appointment of ten new fee earners across its three office
network.
The firm’s Birmingham office has been
particularly active with the appointment of five recruits.
Mark Daniels and Sara McNeill, both from
Wragge & Co, have joined the firm’s rated Intellectual Property
team of 12 as a Partner and Associate respectively. Mark spent
eight years at Wragges where he advised on many contentious IP
cases including the two recent widely reported patent cases between
Nokia and InterDigital concerning the essentiality of patents to
mobile telecommunications standards.
Sara will officially join the team in November
after seven years at Wragges. Described as a ‘rising star’ by Legal
500, Sara’s considerable experience spans various IP matters with
clients including the MoD, Aston Martin and Marks &
Spencer.
Faizal Bhana joins the Banking Team from
Hadens Solicitors and Associate Jim Tait who joins Employment from
Shakespeare Putsman.
The firm’s London office has appointed Partner
Nichola Evans who joins the Business and Professional Risk Team.
Nichola, formerly a Partner in the Commercial Litigation Team at
DWF, specialises in professional negligence and risk
management.
The Nottingham office’s Corporate Team has
also been boosted by the arrival of Solicitors Paul McCannah and
Clare Carpenter whilst the Commercial Team has added Solicitors
Sarah Fellows and James Miles to its growing ranks.
The appointments bring the total number of fee
earners at the firm to 272.
Brian Smith, Managing Partner at Browne
Jacobson, said:
“We are delighted by all these new
appointments. Despite the challenging economic conditions being
faced by many in the sector Browne Jacobson is continuing to look
for opportunities to expand. Our new recruits will add significant
strength in depth to what are already very impressive
teams.”
