“I am extremely proud of the expert team and capability we have built across multiple industries and specialist disciplines, supporting and advising not only UK and international businesses, but also some of the UK’s most exciting start-up and scale-up businesses. I look forward to further strengthening our capabilities and growing our occupier business yet further in response to our clients’ needs at this exciting but challenging point in time for UK occupiers.”
