The past week saw Withers hire Taylor Wessing’s head of contentious trusts and estates as the BBC’s head of litigation returned to private practice with a move to Baker & McKenzie, and Brown Rudnick and TLT made strategic hires in intellectual property (IP) and real estate respectively.
Steven Kempster will become the thirteenth partner in Withers’ contentious trust and succession group when he arrives in mid-July and brings the group up to seven partners in London. The group was founded 20 years ago by Dawn Goodman, who remains head of the department.
