Corker Binning starts a new chapter this week with the appointment of Jessica Parker as senior partner and Andrew Smith as managing partner, effective from 1 April 2023. Corker Binning was founded by David Corker, Nicola Finnerty and Peter Binning. David and Peter will remain an integral part of the firm, David as a consultant and Peter as a founding partner, with both of them fully committed to client work whilst supporting the transition in the firm’s leadership.
Jessica and Andrew commented: 'Corker Binning has become one of the most respected criminal and regulatory litigation boutiques in London. We are enormously grateful to David and Peter for making Corker Binning the wonderful firm it is today and we look forward to guiding it into the future, taking on the most challenging and difficult criminal and regulatory cases whilst retaining our integrity, high standards of client service and collaborative working culture.”
David and Peter commented: 'In 2000 we took a leap of faith with our new firm. We could never have foreseen how the market for criminal and regulatory litigation has grown and changed. We have always believed in encouraging young talent, and now is the right time to commence the transition to a new generation of leaders. We both intend to remain with the firm, undertaking client work, business development and mentoring its younger lawyers. Corker Binning is in incredible shape and has a very bright future. To everyone who has supported us so far – thank you.'
