International law firm appoints partner to tech-focused team
International law firm Withers is expanding Withers tech, its technology and venture capital focused team, with the arrival of new partner Phil Robinson in London. Phil joins the firm from a London-based boutique law firm where he has spent the last four years advising corporates, founder-led businesses and investors, with a particular focus on the tech sector.
 

Phil advises clients on a broad range of corporate transactions, including public and private M&A, fund raises, founder exits and on wider corporate strategy, governance and restructuring matters. Phil started his career in the Royal Marines before training as a lawyer at Linklaters, where he spent almost seven years in their Corporate team.

Commenting on his appointment, Phil said: 'Withers has really invested in building out a leading global tech-focused team and I look forward to being a part of this success story. Working with a hugely varied client base across an international network, and with the talented lawyers at Withers, promises to be genuinely rewarding and exciting.'

James Shaw, head of the Withers tech team, said: 'Phil makes for an excellent addition to our team. His experience of working with technology companies, investors and founders throughout the cycle of their business growth will be hugely useful for our clients.'
