Keystone Law has announced six new appointments who will be joining the firm across a range of areas. All six have been laterally hired from outside firms, and the news of their appointments comes on the heels of Keystone’s IPO on the London Stock Exchange at the end of last year.

  • Adrian Shedden, who was formerly head of fintech at Burges Salmon LLP. He will be joining the banking and finance team, and offers expertise in asset management, cryptocurrencies and distributed ledger technology.
  • John Haggis, a former partner from Sheridans who advises creative, technology and start-ups clients on IP, media and technology issues.
  • Mark Harden, a corporate and commercial lawyer who was a partner at DMH Stallard before joining Keystone. He focuses on handling M&A deals, joint ventures and project finance.
  • Iain Roxborough, who spent over 30 years as a partner at Clifford Chance and is qualified as both a solicitor and a barrister. He specialises in commercial litigation, particularly shareholder disputes.
  • Simon Conroy, a commercial litigator and former consultant solicitor at Setfords who specialises in handling cases relating to the music industry.
  • Nick Tsatsas, a former partner at Fladgate who advises employers, senior executives and high net worth clients on a range of employment issues and disputes.
