Laurence Simons appoint new Director

Legal recruiter Laurence Simons has appointed Guy Adams as Lead Director of their European Private Practice team. Adams will report into Lucinda Moule, Managing Director of Laurence Simons (EMEA), and will focus on the growth of Laurence Simons’ operations in the European Private Practice market, as well as joining the business’ UK Partner team.

Previously Guy worked as a Tax lawyer with Norton Rose, McGrigors and latterly Reynolds Porter Chamberlain, where he assisted in the growth of the firm’s Tax Litigation practice. Adams subsequently spent 3 years with Taylor Root, managing the company’s London-based International recruitment team, before joining Carmichael Fisher to establish their European Legal Practice. Adams brings experience of having recruited partners and teams across continental Europe, the CIS/CEE region and various offshore jurisdictions.

Guy Adams said: “Laurence Simons is a company that I have admired from afar for some time, its heritage and brand proposition will always entice people like me but the genuine determination to expand across Europe was the clincher. I am looking forward to improving our footprint in the European market”.

Lucinda Moule, Managing Director of Laurence Simons (EMEA) said, “Laurence Simons is planning to further expand its activities in a number of locations around the world and Guy will focus on the development of our private practice offering across continental Europe, as well as working with our established partner team in the UK. We look forward to Guy assisting with this expansion in Europe for Laurence Simons and helping to build a thriving business in the next few years”.
