Field Fisher Waterhouse boosts Technology Law Group with partner hire
09 June 2008
European law firm, Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP
announces today the appointment of partner Katrina Dick, who joins the firm from Lovells.
Katrina joins the firm’s Technology Law
Group which will now comprise a dedicated team of 12
partners and 22 other lawyers.
Katrina specialises in communications law and regulation, new media and information
technology law. She has expertise advising on communications
and technology supply and service agreements, IT outsourcing agreements, infrastructure and
content agreements and satellite communications
agreements.
She provides clients with strategic and
commercial advice on the European and UK communications regulatory
environment as well as policy developments. Her practice draws on
her prior experience working in the industry as senior corporate
counsel at a communications and internet company.
Katrina’s appointment is the fifth lateral
hire for Field Fisher Waterhouse since April and the second for the
Technology Law Group which recently appointed technology partner
and former Non-Executive Chairman at Bird & Bird, Hamish Sandison.
This latest lateral hire will further
strengthen the firm’s well-recognised technology law practice which
over the past year has seen a huge increase in both turnover and
volume of deals. The appointment of Katrina, who is listed in
Chambers UK 2008 as a leading individual in
Telecommunications, will also boost the firm's telecoms sector
expertise.
Michael Chissick,
Head of the Technology Law Group at Field Fisher Waterhouse, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Katrina to our growing team. The firm
has a strong telecoms sector capability with a range of clients
such as Orange, COLT Telecommunications and Liberty Global. Her
expertise both advising and working within the telecoms industry
will be a great asset.”
