Halliwells Appoints National Pensions Head

Law firm Halliwells has continued its expansion with the appointment of Patrick Kennedy as national head of pensions.

Patrick, who joins from Pinsent Masons, specialises in all major areas of pensions law. He will be based at the firm's Manchester head office.

Commenting on his appointment, Patrick said:

"Halliwells has an excellent pensions team and I'm looking forward to further developing the practice both regionally and nationally."

Said Ian Austin, Halliwells' managing partner:

"Patrick is a first rate pensions lawyer with wide ranging expertise.   He will boost our pensions team and the firm generally as we continue our expansion."

Patrick's appointment comes at a busy time for Halliwells with the firm having just announced the recruitment of commercial litigation partners Colin Gibbons and Fiona Parry from DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary.

Concluded Ian Austin:

"We're firing on all cylinders at the moment and will be making further announcements shortly."
