Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP announces today the appointment of
new corporate partner Tim Bee. Tim
joins this month from Addleshaw Goddard’s London office.
Tim Bee is a highly experienced
corporate finance lawyer, advising
companies, hedge fund managers and intermediaries on a wide range

corporate restructuring. He has a significant UK and European
client base, advising big name international clients on
multi-jurisdictional transactions. He was a partner at

continue to expand while other firms contract. This new appointment
is a major step forward in the growth of the firm’s corporate
finance capability."
