- Maria Philippides, Sandra Sithole, Caroline Theodosiou and Raynold Tlhavani (all from Norton Rose Fulbright) join as partners, bringing deep expertise in insurance litigation in particular;
- Seraj Haroun (from Allen & Overy) joins as a partner, and Michael Fleischer (formerly group chief counsel at MTN), re-joins the firm as a consultant – both will be valuable additions to the firm's corporate offering; and
