Birketts is delighted to announce the appointment of three new partners to its Corporate & Commercial team. James Allen, Laurence Weeks and Quentin Golder will all join the firm later this year from Taylor Vinters in Cambridge.
James trained in the City and joined Taylor Vinters as a partner in 2001, becoming Head of the Corporate team in 2003. He is noted in the Legal 500 for his considerable banking and finance expertise and strong reputation in that field.
Laurence has been Head of Litigation at Taylor Vinters since 2010. He has a particular specialism in corporate insolvency and between 2008 and 2011 served as the Chairman of the Eastern Region Committee for R3, the association of business recovery professionals. He continues to sit on the Council and is hailed as "a very good lawyer" who is "excellent at dealing with his clients." [Chambers UK 2012]
Quentin has wide corporate and commercial experience both in New Zealand and the UK. He is particularly skilled at dealing with early stage and technology clients.
Senior partner Nigel Farthing commented, “We are thrilled to welcome James, Laurence and Quentin to Birketts. Their arrival will help us to maintain and build upon our already impressive client base and reputation for corporate and commercial work. It is another exciting development for the firm as we continue to strengthen the quality and scope of our legal services."
Birketts is a top UK law firm, with offices in Cambridge, Chelmsford, Ipswich and Norwich and a turnover of £27m. These new appointments will bring partner numbers to 57.
