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

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.’
