Marian Bloodworth—Kemp Little LLP

Firm announces partner hire

Kemp Little has announced the appointment of Marian Bloodworth as a partner in its employment team.

Marian will support the employment team’s general contentious and non-contentious practice but brings a particular expertise in complex litigation in the financial services sector. She will also bring invaluable expertise in advising financial services clients on the implications and challenges of the new senior managers regime (SMR).

Marian joins the firm from Berwin Leighton Paisner where she was a partner in their employment team.

Marian says: ”I am very excited to be joining Kemp Little at this key stage in its growth plans. The firm is a great fit for my existing practice and I am looking forward to building on the opportunities presented by the firm’s strategy and my own experience to further expand the employment team’s offering.”

Managing partner David Williams says: ”We are delighted to have Marian join us. Her arrival adds real strength and depth to the employment department’s financial services offering and in turn will help the firm develop its sweet spot in the provision of legal services at the intersection between technology and financial services. Marian’s appointment, along with a number of other strategic hires which are in the pipeline, reinforces the firm’s commitment to continuing to add expertise to support the strong growth trajectory it has seen over the past 18 months.”
