Edwin Coe Hires Four New Partners

Litigation team Edwin Coe has just hired four new partners to accommodate their growing list of clients.

Edwin Coe has hired Teacher Stern IP partner Simon Miles, Royds Solicitors Litigation partner Vivien Davies, Fasken Martineau’s former head of employment Ruth Hickling and David Goepel, previously of counsel at Withers. All four will come on as partner.

Christopher Berry, senior partner at Edwin Coe, claims they made the hires in the IP and private client practices to establish a route for succession ahead of partner retirements.

Chief executive Tim Nash said that the practices were “specific areas where the firm has identified opportunities for growth.”

Coe’s David Greene just recently won an instruction from a group of Madoff investors looking into possible action against intermediary banks HSBC, UBS, and Barclays regarding advice they gave in relation to Madoff’s $50 billion.
