New-model firm welcomes corporate finance & immigration experts
National firm Excello Law has announced the double appointment of Sherif Hampton and Sonia Cheng.
A corporate, banking and finance specialist, Sherif qualified to practise in 2009 and has previously worked at firms including Jones Day and Ashurst. He advises on UK and cross-border transactions including M&A deals, joint ventures and financings. He has also acted for lenders and borrowers on a range of Islamic finance transactions, and previously lived in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
Sonia qualified in 2018, and specialises in immigration and commercial contracts. She is a member of the Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association and has previously worked with a charity dedicated to providing immigration assistance. She is experienced in corporate immigration matters, frequently handling EU enquiries, visas and applications which fall outside standard rules.
George Bisnought, managing director of Excello Law, commented: ‘Sherif and Sonia bring a lot of expertise and valuable additional skills to the firm, particularly across banking & finance and immigration legal services. In our 10th anniversary year, our collaborative and flexible working model continues to provide senior lawyers and teams with a modern working environment and the ability to focus their time 100% on looking after the needs of their clients.’
