Hall & Wilcox—Nigel Clark

Firm strengthens international strategy with hire of global relations consultant

Hall & Wilcox has appointed Nigel Clark as global relations consultant, based in London, as part of its continuing international expansion. With more than two decades of experience building cross-border legal relationships, Clark has previously led MinterEllison’s international referrals strategy from London, Beijing and Hong Kong. He also co-founded Peregrine Law, later sold to Nexa in 2020, where he served as CEO for four years and remains a non-executive director.

In his new role, Clark will support Hall & Wilcox’s international strategy, focusing on strengthening relationships with overseas law firms and global markets. Chief executive partner Graydon Dowd said the appointment ‘marks a significant step in Hall & Wilcox’s international growth strategy’, adding that Clark will help ‘ensure our clients receive the best experience globally’.

Oliver Jankowsky, head of the firm’s international practice, said the team is ‘excited to have Nigel on board’ and looks forward to the ‘momentum he’ll bring to our global engagement strategy’. He emphasised that the firm’s approach brings together its networks, sector expertise and people to help clients ‘grow, invest and succeed across borders’.

Clark said he has long admired the firm’s ambitions and progress, commenting: ‘I think we’re a good fit and see the world and the opportunities in a similar way. I’m excited to get started with Hall & Wilcox.’
