Clifford Chance has hired international equality campaigner Tiernan Brady as its first global head of inclusion. Brady will be responsible for putting together strategies to improve diversity and inclusion at the firm. He was formerly executive director of the Equality Campaign in Australia, where he took a leading role in putting together the campaign strategy for the country's successful vote in favour of marriage equality in 2017. Prior to that role he was political director for Yes Equality, the main campaign vehicle for the same vote in Ireland that passed in 2015.
White & Case has bolstered its finance practice with the hire of Fergus Wheeler from King & Spalding. Wheeler joined King & Spalding in 2017 from Ropes & Gray and advises private credit funds and asset managers on debt finance.
KPMG has further strengthened its corporate legal practice in its Birmingham office with a partner hire from a Big Four rival. Peter Workman is joining KPMG from PwC, where he led its Midlands corporate legal practice and its flexible lawyer offering. In his new role he will lead a team of nine business structuring and transactions lawyers.
