Russell-Cooke has appointed Thomas Clark as a partner in its corporate and commercial practice, strengthening its offering to clients in the technology and broader commercial sectors. Clark brings extensive experience advising SMEs on business sales and purchases, shareholder agreements, corporate reorganisations, and employee incentive schemes.
With a particular focus on the IT sector, Clark has advised Microsoft resellers, cloud service providers, and SaaS businesses. Since qualifying in 2011, he has also developed a strong specialism in employee incentives, including enterprise management incentives (EMIs), growth shares, and long-term incentive plans.
He joins from City firm Doyle Clayton, following a decade at a large regional firm. ‘Russell-Cooke has a strong reputation for working with a diverse range of clients,’ said Clark. ‘I’m looking forward to contributing to the continued growth of the practice.’
Guy Wilmot, corporate and commercial partner at Russell-Cooke, welcomed the appointment: ‘Thomas brings strong experience advising a diverse client base across corporate and commercial matters. His expertise, particularly in the IT and tech sectors, will further bolster our offering.’ Clark’s arrival brings the number of partners in the team to seven.
