Brian commented: “I’m delighted to be joining Tony and his team. They have an excellent client base and the focus on quality has always been of the utmost importance to me in delivering a superior service. Increasingly organisations do not need to instruct City firms to receive the very best legal advice. I am very much looking forward to working with Tony and the team to help continue the unrivalled quality of the employment expertise on offer to clients."
