Expert Opinion

“I’m honoured to take on the role of National Head of Corporate at Irwin Mitchell. This promotion is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team and I look forward to continuing to drive our Corporate practice forward, and to supporting our clients in achieving their business goals.” Daniel Bastide, Corporate partner

This move, along with the recent addition of Ute Mueller, underscores our commitment to providing top-tier legal services to our clients in the mid-corporate market.”
