Halebury, the alternative law firm that acts for some of the biggest names in business and sport, has added three heavyweight solicitors to its team

Joining Halebury are Michelle Harris, Alex Stewart and Paula Jackson. Kingsley Napley corporate partner Michelle brings with her the England football team as a client.

Alex, the former head of legal at Arqiva Broadcast & Media, the company behind most of the UK’s television, radio, satellite and wireless communications infrastructure, brings a raft of corporate TMT experience from his time leading the legal team at Arqiva and previously at NTL, where he was senior legal adviser. Paula is the former Virgin Media senior legal counsel. After qualifying with Denton Wilde Sapte, she has built a career as an in-house commercial lawyer in the TMT sector, having been legal adviser at NTL, associate legal counsel at Telewest and most recently legal consultant at Google UK.
