FSP NEWS - BUILDING STRENGTH AND DEPTH

The firm has appointed three new senior lawyers to the corporate and dispute resolution teams in the firm. We remain committed, even in these tough economic conditions, to delivering a wide range of legal services of the highest quality. Clients increasingly require their solicitors to have specialist knowledge of niche areas of the law and these new appointments will give us an enhanced level of expertise in sports law, taxation and commercial contracts. Elizabeth Mehdevy joins the firm as a partner from City firm, Hextalls. Her practice area is dispute resolution and she heads up our specialist sports law team. Philippa Roles is a tax specialist who has joined the firm from City firm, Reed Smith. John Evans joins the firm from Olswang in London and is part of the commercial team. We welcome all three to the firm and wish them long and successful careers at FSP.
