Kemp Little—Farina Azam

Travel expert joins as partner

Technology and digital media law firm Kemp Little LLP has welcomed Farina Azam to the firm as a partner in the commercial and technology team.

Farina joins after almost ten years with Travlaw LLP, where she served as partner and head of commercial. She is an expert in travel law, with wide experience in commercial and consumer contracts and regulatory advice. Her clients include tour operators, hotels, airlines and festival organisers.

Farina commented: ‘The impact of technology on the way we all discover, buy and rate our travel experiences has been immense over the past two decades. I’m absolutely delighted to be joining such a forward thinking and innovative firm in Kemp Little where that interface between technology and travel is fully appreciated. The firm’s vision and ambitions match my own for the sector and I look forward to working with the team to further build the firm’s travel practice.’

Managing partner Andrew Joint added: ‘Farina’s appointment marks an exciting time for the firm with the expansion of our travel practice to bolster our regulatory work. Her reputation in the market and extensive expertise surrounding the legal issues affecting the travel industry will add another dimension to our technology-focused offering, in a sector where we already have a wealth of long-standing and high-profile clients.’
