Tony Roberts—Royds

New partner for corporate team

Royds have appointed a new partner to its corporate and commercial department, as they continue to strengthen their commercial services in the City.

Tony Roberts has joined the firm’s highly respected team, bringing with him extensive experience in many aspects of mainstream corporate law, as well as mergers and acquisitions.

He will be working closely with the practice’s existing corporate and commercial partners, Claus Andersen and John North, to deliver a wide range of services to the firm’s broad UK and international client base.

Tony has more than a decade of experience within London law firms and has been involved in a number of high-profile cases, including the purchase of Jaguar Land Rover by TATA.

Royds’ managing partner, Stewart Wilkinson, says: “We are delighted to be welcoming Tony to Royds. He is an excellent addition to our strong corporate and commercial law team and his experience in the retail and M&A sector fits perfectly with our client base.

“He is the latest in a long line of new partners to join our firm as we continue to expand our operations to provide new high-quality services to both our existing and prospective clients.”
