Lauded by clients for its depth of expertise and cross-border capabilities, the ‘excellent’ corporate team at Fox Williams LLP is well positioned to advise clients across the technology, financial services, media, travel and professional services sectors. Practice head Richie Clark focuses on private and public M&A, principally in the technology, financial services and natural resources sectors, and has continued to deepen relationships with the firm’s international client base. Mary Elliott, praised for her ‘practical solutions’, leads the firm’s publishing and digital media offering where she focuses on publishing and edtech M&A. Andrew Woolf is a key port of all for listed companies, private companies and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals, particularly in the financial services and technology sectors. The team has been strengthened by the arrival of VC and financial services expert Bryan Shaw, a dual-qualified (England and Australia) practitioner, who joined from MBM Commercial in December 2022.
