Keystone Law—Paul Daniels

National firm Keystone Law has bolstered its employment offering with the appointment of sports expert Paul Daniels.

Paul joins the firm from Slater & Gordon, where he was promoted to partner in 2003. He has a broad practice across the field of employment law, encompassing contract disputes, whistleblowing and executive dismissal. He also offers niche expertise in handling sports cases, having previously advised high-profile premiership names on contract issues and departures. His caseload of headline matters also includes having represented BBC producer Oisin Tymon in relation to his alleged assault by presenter Jeremy Clarkson.

Paul stated: ‘I am thrilled to be joining the Keystone team. The synergy between our philosophies on the importance of client service was clear from the outset. I was also especially attracted by Keystone’s obvious passion for innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit. Combining our wider industry capabilities, I look forward to trying to build something special with my Keystone colleagues.’

CEO and managing director of Keystone Law James Knight added: ‘In recent years we have begun to build a sports offering which is focused on profound and all-encompassing industry insight to our clients. Paul’s skillset and client portfolio fits seamlessly into this ethos. He has an outstanding reputation and will strengthen our expertise in handling complex and high value cases.’
