His considerable experience in advising on international and larger corporate deals and his technology and software sector specialism, coupled with his pro-active approach will be a real asset to the firm, our clients and the wider Milton Keynes market."
Edward says: "I'm very proud to be joining Howes Percival. The firm has a fantastic reputation for the quality of its work and I'm excited to be involved in helping to develop its existing Corporate Commercial practice.
