An intellectual property firm has announced it has expanded its service offering by the recruitment of a new principal and his team, as well as 20 promotions.
Davies Collison Cave Law (DCC) has expanded into corporate and private client advisory, mergers and acquisitions, tax and property areas with the recruitment of principal lawyer Craig Finlayson and his team.
