The quartet will support the firm’s corporate and commercial, energy and infrastructure clients with ad hoc and project-based matters and will also play key roles in servicing the firm’s Law Squared-as-a-Service (LSaaS) engagements.

From a client perspective, the firm said in a statement, the new hires align closely with Law Squared’s core client base, comprised primarily of large corporate, not-for-profit, and multinational in-house legal teams, it said.

Elsewhere, the firm has recently appointed Gerard Maxted from Nicholson Ryan Lawyers, who has joined its disputes and litigation practice.

The appointments follow the firm’s launching of an energy and infrastructure practice in May, its hiring of two professionals for its LSaaS initiative in March, and its appointment of three graduate lawyers in February.

Speaking about the hires, Law Squared founder and director Demetrio Zema said: “We’ve invested in hiring experienced in-house lawyers who bring strong commercial acumen, ensuring we provide the actionable, pragmatic, and legal insights needed to support business stakeholders.”

“It’s rare for in-house lawyers to return to private practice. As a profession, we ought to be more alarmed by the talent drain that’s perpetuated by toxic ways of working. We’re proud to upend this trend and entice some exceptional legal talent back to private practice with our distinctive employee value proposition and commitment to doing law differently.”
