Firm expands healthcare expertise with six-member team

Full-service law firm Shakespeare Martineau has bolstered its healthcare offering by bringing in a team of six experienced legal professionals.

Comprising three partners, two associates and a solicitor, the team has joined the firm from Knights and specialises in corporate transactions in various healthcare sectors.

Leading the team are partners Jonathan Tyson and Gemma Tyson, who are experienced in handling transactions in areas including dental, pharmacy, opticians, children's nurseries and veterinary practices. They will be supported by partner Katie Taken, associates Jonathan Hill and Louise McDonald, and solicitor Stena Rham.

Gemma said: ‘Shakespeare Martineau’s healthcare team is already very successful and highly regarded, and we believe that together, we will become greater than the sum of our parts. The firm’s great reputation, loyal people and ambitious growth plans were significant factors in our decision to join.

‘Being part of Shakespeare Martineau will give us the support and platform we need to truly focus on the healthcare sector, expand our expertise and specialisms, and provide a consistent high-quality service to our clients.’

Joseph Soul, partner and head of Shakespeare Martineau’s commercial property and development team, added: ‘We are thrilled to welcome Jonathan, Gemma, Katie, Jonathan, Louise and Stena to the firm. Their recruitment has been part of a long-standing strategy to enhance our existing healthcare offering and develop a national platform.’
