08 June 2009
Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP announces today the appointment of
partner Nick Holland who joins the firm
from Eversheds. Nick joins the firm’s Technology Law Group which is now one of the
largest single site technology practices in Europe.
Nick specialises in international technology and telecoms
projects for large multinationals based across Europe, the Middle
East and Africa. He has a particular focus on outsourcing
transactions, global data protection and privacy projects and
telecoms network deals including telecoms licensing deals and
broadband rollouts. His client base consists mainly of
international technology and telecoms equipment manufacturers.
Like a number of Field Fisher Waterhouse’s technology lawyers
Nick has spent time as in-house counsel as well as working in
private practice, spending three years at telecommunications
company Lucent Technologies. He is ranked by both Chambers and
Legal 500 as a leading individual in technology law.
This latest lateral hire will further strengthen the firm’s
well-recognised technology law practice, which over the past year
has seen the appointments of partners Hamish
Sandison from Bird & Bird and Katrina Dick from Lovells as well as technology
litigation partner Andrew Dodd from DLA
Piper. The Technology Law Group has recently closed some of the
most high profile deals in the sector including the procurement of
a new Police National Database and two ten year contracts for the
Identity and Passport Service, worth over half a billion
pounds.
Michael Chissick, Head of the
Technology Law Group at Field Fisher Waterhouse, said: “The firm’s
technology practice has had a successful year with the expansion of
the team and the closing of some big ticket projects. I am
delighted to welcome Nick to the firm. His experience advising
multinational companies will build on the practice’s international
dimension and his technology and telecoms sector expertise will be
a significant asset.”
