Specialist lawyer Phil Brown has joined the ranks of the corporate team at Napthens solicitors.

Phil will advise businesses on a range of commercial contracts including software licensing agreements, outsourcing projects, international distribution arrangements and e-commerce, and brings more than a decade of high level specialist expertise to Napthens’ growing corporate team.

He has particular experience in the manufacturing and technology sectors and has spent time working in private practice for law firms in Leeds, as well as in-house for Inspired Gaming Group, a multi-national gaming technology company in London.

Phil said: “I’m delighted to be joining Napthens as the firm continues its growth while remaining focused on what has set it apart in the region – the high quality personal service it has built its reputation on.”

Keith Melling, head of corporate at Napthens, added: “Phil has been involved in a number of specialist projects in his career including assisting clients entering new markets in South America and Asia. “This is an exciting and increasingly relevant area of the law, where more of our clients are looking to grow their businesses beyond the UK borders. Phil’s knowledge and experience adds significantly to our service.”
