Speaking about the hire, Swaab managing partner Mary Digiglio said: “David’s impressive expertise and deep experience enable Swaab to remain ahead of the curve in serving our client’s needs.
“As with all our recruits, the cultural fit and common client service and workplace values are paramount.
“We believe David’s commitment to the highest quality of legal work and his personable approach to clients and colleagues is a perfect alignment.
“We are excited to have David join Swaab and commit to our Swaab brand of service and our hallmark value of generosity of spirit.”
