  • Louise Garcia joined in January 2014 from Withy King
  • David Hickman joined in January 2014 from Addleshaw Goddard

Managing Director of Keystone Law, James Knight says:

 

“As client demand grows in the South West, we continue to strengthen our Bristol team. Martin joins a team of highly experienced solicitors whose combined expertise, in both contentious and non-contentious matters, makes them perfectly placed to advise clients across a wide-range of legal issues.”;
