Tim Ashdown, senior litigation partner at DMH Stallard, says: “This is a really exciting appointment and one that reflects our ever increasing presence in the market in London and across the south east.  

“James possesses a calibre of experience that is hard to match. His arrival demonstrates that our ambition to continue growing and attracting the very best people in the UK law sector is as strong as ever.”

James saiys “It is an incredibly exciting time to be joining DMH Stallard following the firm’s recent mergers in both Guildford and London.

“DMH Stallard is already recognised as a leading firm for IP in the south east and, with the importance of IP continually on the rise for businesses of all shapes and sizes as the digital economy grows, I look forward to working with my new colleagues across the offices in building upon the firm’s excellent reputation and to ensure DMH Stallard is recognised as a go-to firm for intellectual property protection and enforcement advice.”
