His sector focused approach with an emphasis on the life science and technology sectors has allowed Anton to develop specific expertise in matters such as protection of confidential information including trade secrets, employee poaching and international mobility.

Anton also specialises in all employment aspects of corporate transactions. Working closely with the international Bird & Bird corporate teams he ensures that all potential employment liabilities are fully assessed and appropriately managed or factored into the deal.
