Brabners has made two more senior hires at its newly opened Leeds office, enhancing its corporate and regulatory services as it builds out a full-service team in Yorkshire.
Andrew Bradley (pictured, right) has joined the law firm as a consultant within its corporate team. He brings 34 years of experience to Brabners, handling issues such as company mergers, acquisitions and disposals, management buyouts, structuring and banking transactions.
He has previously served as a partner in the Leeds corporate teams at Knights and Shulmans.
Dan Stowers (pictured, centre) has also joined the firm’s now 80-strong partnership, specialising in regulation, business crime and compliance.
Over a 25-year career spent at Shoosmiths, Gordons, Irwin Mitchell and DLA Piper, Stowers has defended some of the UK’s most complex fraud cases, with many being multi-jurisdictional in nature—while also undertaking corporate fraud internal investigations and providing financial crime compliance advice.
The appointments come just weeks after Brabners opened its fourth UK office in Leeds at 1 City Square.
Bradley and Stowers and the rapidly growing Leeds-based Brabners team are set to be joined by further additions imminently as the firm continues to scale quickly, complemented by its existing 400+ strong team across Liverpool, Manchester and Lancashire.
Nik White (pictured, left), managing partner at Brabners, said: “Andrew and Dan bring excellent pedigree to our new Leeds office. They’re both well established and very highly regarded in their respective fields and will deliver exceptional value to our clients.”
White added: “Hiring leading talent forms part of our strategy to build a full-service team for our clients in Yorkshire and across the North. Our ability to do so is reflective of the distinct and strong firm culture which we’ve further enhanced in recent years for the benefit of our colleagues and clients.
|It’s great to see so many of our existing team embracing our launch into Leeds and basing themselves out of our new office there. We’re looking forward to announcing more recruits across the board as we increase our presence across the Pennines.”
