The group, engaged by big-name corporations for global portfolio management and other non-contentious matters, includes Richard May, a key name for consumer and retail brand disputes, and Robert Guthrie, who leads on work for tech-driven companies. Daniel Ramos, Charles Macrae and Jasmine Lalli are further names to note.
