EY today (29 April) took further steps to build its UK legal capability with the hire of Berwin Leighton Paisner’s (BLP’s) former head of finance Matthew Kellett, with Kellett set to spearhead the accounting giant’s financial services legal work.
Kellett, who resigned from the top 20 firm last October, will start at EY in September, as the Big Four accountant steadily develops its UK and global legal capabilities, including in March hiring Addleshaw Goddard’s corporate managing partner Philip Goodstone.
