Employee incentives expert joins Coventry office
Excello Law has appointed employee incentives specialist John Dormer as its latest senior lawyer, marking the 31st senior hire of the year for the firm. Dormer brings over 25 years of experience advising on share and cash-based incentive arrangements, and joins at a time of rapid expansion for Excello, which has recently opened offices in Dubai, California and Belfast.
Dormer previously led a team at a specialist employee ownership business and held senior roles at Wright Hassall and KPMG. His practice focuses on the commercial, tax and legal structuring of incentive plans, and he will be based in Excello’s Coventry office, supporting clients nationwide. He said the move gives him ‘the autonomy, flexibility, and platform to shape my practice’ and praised the firm’s structure for enabling ‘agile, strategic advice’.
Jo Losty, chief operating officer at Excello Law, welcomed Dormer’s arrival, saying his ‘deep technical knowledge and commercial insight’ will be ‘invaluable to our clients’. She added that his appointment ‘significantly enhances our ability to support businesses looking to attract, retain and reward talent’.
Dormer’s hire reflects Excello’s ongoing commitment to building a national and international platform for senior lawyers seeking greater control over their careers. The firm’s ‘Houses of Brands’ programme also offers lawyers the opportunity to launch their own branded practices, with recent launches including Ocean Legal, Elevate Legal and Ionic Legal.
