New start for Minter Ellison's M&A head
Former co-head of M&A at Minter Ellison James Philips has moved to an international firm.

Mr Philips (pictured) has been appointed as a partner at DLA Piper’s Sydney office.
He also wrote the takeovers chapter in the Australian Corporation Practice guide and lectures in corporate fundraising at the University of Sydney.
Mr Philips is the sixth corporate partner to join DLA Piper in the past four months, following the appointments of Grant Koch, Michael Bowen, Scott Gibson and Marc Wilshaw and David Hallam.
DLA Piper recently lost partner Judith Miller to boutique firm Wrays and special counsel Mark Baker-Jones to DibbsBarker.
