UK and Ireland law firm Browne Jacobson has announced the appointment of partner Christian Farrow to its Corporate team, based in Cardiff.
Christian joins from Acuity Law and has a broad corporate practice, with extensive experience advising on public and private M&A, joint ventures, management incentivisation arrangements, equity investments and fundraisings.
With a career spanning more than 20 years, Christian has been involved in many of Wales’ most significant transactions in recent years and has experience across a range of sectors including clean energy, insurance and financial services, manufacturing and training and education.
