Miguel Pereira—Stone King

Corporate lawyer joins business team

Stone King has appointed skilled corporate lawyer Miguel Pereira to the firm's expanding business law team.

Miguel joins Stone King from the legal practice Lewis Silkin where he was a partner in the corporate team. Although his main focus is in mergers and acquisitions, and general corporate advice, Miguel has developed a particular expertise in LLPs and partnership law.

He has considerable experience advising professional and commercial partnerships from a wide range of sectors on their structure, constitutional arrangements and conversion to LLP status. Miguel is also a fluent Spanish speaker and has acted for a number of Spanish clients in relation to their UK interests.  

He is the latest legal specialist to join Stone King's growing business team which offers advice on a range of matters, from commercial property and dispute resolution to employment, HR and intellectual property law.

Stone King's managing partner Steven Greenwood says: "Miguel is widely regarded as an expert on partnership law and LLPs and has spoken at conferences and written authoritative articles on this complex subject.

"We are naturally delighted to welcome him to the team and to offer his legal expertise to our growing number of commercial clients."
