Commenting on his appointment, Shervin said: ‘I am excited to be joining Taylor Wessing and by the opportunity to develop a multidisciplinary, go-to funds practice building on the firm's existing strengths in areas like private equity, private wealth, corporate real estate and venture capital. I look forward to continuing and growing my representation of a wide range of fund managers and institutional investors globally. Clients are looking for exactly the kind of strength and depth and commercial approach that Taylor Wessing can offer on a cross-border basis.’
Ed Waldron, head of the firm’s private equity practice, said: ‘I am thrilled to welcome Shervin to Taylor Wessing. His arrival will bolster our global fund formation offering.
