Law firm welcomes new partner to corporate department

Baker Botts LLP, an international technology and energy law firm, has announced that Stuart Blythe has joined the firm’s corporate department as a partner. He will be based in the firm’s London office.

John Martin, managing partner of Baker Botts said: ‘We continue to add scale to our firm-wide corporate department and invest in our TMT offering. Stuart’s practice is a perfect fit with the firm’s sector strategy, our cross-border corporate priorities and the London office’s growth plans. His skill-set sharpens our differentiation in the market even further.’

Mark Rowley, partner-in-charge of London and the Middle East at Baker Botts, commented: ‘Stuart has an excellent cross-border client base, which will enhance our corporate department in London and help to grow our TMT capabilities as well. As we add further scale in London, we continue to look for high quality lawyers with complementary skills to support our clients.’

Stuart added: ‘Baker Botts has world class clientele across the technology sector more broadly, and the firm is at a very exciting growth stage in London. This is a superb opportunity for me to help further diversify the firm’s corporate department in London and expand the work being carried out for its TMT sector clients.’
