Senior corporate lawyer promoted to partner

Law firm Squire Patton Boggs has promoted one of their corporate lawyers to a partner within the company.

Claire O’Connor joined the firm in 2010 as a trainee and advises domestic and international corporates and financial institutions on a cross-border M&A and complex reorganisations as well as board advisory work.

Claire excels in building client relationships at general counsel and c-suite level including with key clients in financial services and industrials verticals and her specialism in reorganisations provides broader-ranging, high value advice to significant corporate clients.

Her expensive experience has been complemented by secondments to various clients over the years including at a private equity fund and international packaging manufacturer.

Tom Durrant, managing partner of the Birmingham Office, said: “I would like to congratulate Claire on her promotion to partner.

“She is an exceptionally talented lawyer with first-rate technical skills and a deserved reputation for providing commercial, client-focused advice. 

“Her promotion underlines the strength of our practice and our investment in its continued growth. We wish Claire every success.”
