He is an outstanding corporate lawyer whose expertise and client care are renowned within the field. Our clients will benefit from Dan’s vast experience across all transaction types from M&A, management buyouts (MBOs) and private equity deals, to joint ventures, shareholder arrangements and restructuring. He is a real asset to the team.”
On Joshua’s appointment, Christopher Eriksson-Lee, Head of Private Client, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Josh who has built up a tremendous reputation in East Kent. Josh is highly regarded for his personable approach while offering clients pragmatic advice that best meets their interests and objectives. He is a fantastic addition to Brachers.”
