Adams & Remers LLP is expanding with the opening of a new office in St James's, London. The office will open in mid September and will initially comprise two new corporate partners, a senior insurance litigator, three corporate assistants and support staff. The new office and team will complement the 8 partners and 90 employees at Adams & Remers established offices in Lewes and Brighton.

The new office at Dukes Court, 32 Duke Street, St James's, London, SW1Y 6DF will be headed by new partners Stuart Robertson and Simon Jones who, along with senior assistant Stephanie Brigg, join from the London office of Cobbetts. They will be joined by solicitors Anna Lewis Martinez previously from Clifford Chance and Andrew Deans previously from Hextalls.

The London team will continue to grow to include legal professionals representing the breadth of Adams & Remers’ full range of services – including commercial, private client, dispute resolution, property and family law.

Stuart and Simon will work alongside the existing corporate and commercial teams at Adams & Remers and, in particular, bring significant expertise in the private and public capital markets including a wealth of international experience particularly in relation to the flotation of companies on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

Robin Illingworth, managing partner at Adams & Remers comments: “This is a very exciting and natural expansion for the firm and we are delighted to welcome Stuart, Simon and our other new colleagues to the team and look forward to working alongside them. This will expand and complement our services to existing clients and increase our client base in their areas of expertise.”

Stuart Robertson comments: “This presents a fantastic and unique opportunity to help realise the ambitions of Adams & Remers and build a real and significant presence in London. We look forward to working with the team to enhance its prestigious and client focused business in London, the South East and internationally.”
