As the demand for criminal defence lawyers intensifies amid increased scrutiny from regulators, Allen & Overy has bolstered its firepower with the hire of white-collar crime partner Eve Giles from Kingsley Napley.
Giles has been a partner at Kingsley Napley since 2009 and will become A&O’s sixth corporate crime partner later this year, joining head of corporate and commercial litigation Lawson Caisley and partners Jonathan Hitchin, Calum Burnett, Arnondo Chakrabarti and Alice Englehart.
