Warren began his legal career as a solicitor at Cunningham Taylor in Christchurch in 1997, before making the move to Clifford Chance in London in 2000. He was also a solicitor at Southwark Council in London.
“The addition of James’s talent and expertise to the firm supports Kensington Swan’s continued drive to deliver unbeatable service to clients,” the firm said.
Warren’s practice covers a wide range of industries, with a particular focus in the technology, media, and retail sectors.
The appointment follows Kensington Swan’s recruitment of Paul Holth in April, who first joined the firm as special counsel and was promoted to the partnership in May.
