Media law practice Tan Ward has announced the appointment of Kathryn Davies as an employment partner.

Kathryn has over ten years’ experience at West End and City firms and is widely known for her broad experience in both contentious and non-contentious work.

Praveen Bhatia, CEO and co-owner of Tan Ward, said: ‘We are passionate about creating new opportunities that can unlock the potential of legal professionals, particularly women in law, and are elated to have Kathryn join our practice. She is the perfect fit for our modern approach that provides a comprehensive solution for ambitious legal professionals seeking work-life balance.’

Daniela Korn, head of employment and co-owner, added: ‘By giving lawyers complete control of their case load, we aim to attract and retain talent from a diverse pool and foster an inclusive and supportive environment for women in law.
