Kent firm announces corporate & commercial partner hire 

Kent law firm Brachers has welcomed Alex Cosgrove to its corporate and commercial team as a partner.

Alex joins from his former position of managing counsel at boutique London firm Peace | Crowell LLP, and has previously worked at Latham & Watkins and Norton Rose Fulbright. He focuses on advising corporate clients and lenders on a broad range of transactional matters, including project financing, joint ventures and commercial agreements. He has previously been based in Hong Kong and Tokyo as well as London.

Alex commented: ‘I am very proud to be joining Brachers. The firm has an excellent track record in corporate and commercial work by a strong team with a much deserved reputation for the quality of its work across a wide range of clients.  This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and ambitious firm adding to their already proven international credentials.’

Commercial partner Erol Huseyin added: ‘We are thrilled to bring Alex on board. He has extensive and impressive experience in the UK and internationally, and will be a great addition to our growing team. We have shown that businesses do not need to go to London for corporate and commercial legal advice and support. We are proud to be working with companies across the UK, Europe and beyond helping them with their deals, strategic projects and financing transactions. With Alex joining the firm, we are well-placed to build further on this unique offering.’
