Swindon-based commercial lawyers Clark Holt have announced promotions and appointments, as well as the retirement of co-founder Jeremy Holt and real estate senior associate Roger Brockington. Peter James has been promoted to head of commercial and Belinda Walters is now a partner. Peter joined Clark Holt in 2010 and specialises in commercial law, with particular expertise in the IT sector, intellectual property and employment law. Jeremy Holt set up Clark Holt in 1995 with Richard Clark and since then the firm has grown organically.
Jeremy Holt said:
- “After previously working for big city law firms in London, we set up Clark Holt with the ambition to offer the service and expertise of a big city law firm, but with the client focus, cost-effectiveness and entrepreneurial approach of a smaller independent practice. ”
Philip Humphreys, who leads the firm as managing partner, said:
- “We have a focused and specialist team of the highest quality, with impressive skills, strengths and experience covering between us a broad range of non-contentious commercial activity.”
