Guildford-based law firm Stevens & Bolton has appointed partner Jonathan Steele to the corporate practice.
Corporate transactional specialist Steele joins from Charles Russell Speechlys. He offers advice on mergers and acquisitions, corporate investments and restructurings. He has particular expertise in the healthcare, technology and media sectors, working with clients that range from early-stage growth companies to listed public companies.
The firm has made five lateral hires over the past 12 months: Sarah Cardew from Irwin Mitchell, Caroline Delaney from Rosenblatt, Andy Williams from Charles Russell Speechlys, Gareth Walliss from Shoosmiths and Heidi Sawtell from Talbot Walker. It also follows the recent internal promotion of Matthew Peto to partner in the firm’s private client practice.
James Waddell, managing partner, commented: 'The Stevens & Bolton corporate practice continues to go from strength to strength, with one of the largest mid-market M&A teams outside the City and a particular specialism in executing buy-and-build strategies for corporate acquirers. Jonny is a great addition to our really strong corporate partner bench and we are delighted to welcome him to the firm.'
