We boosted our team with three prestigious new hires

Already boasting some of the most formidable data privacy, cybercrime, and data breach solicitors in the UK, Keller Postman UK further strengthened its Data Breach team with two prestigious new hires. 

Associate Bill Singer joined us from Simpson Millar. He has an enviable reputation fighting against unequal odds to advance cases through the courts, and achieving resolution via negotiated settlements. Associate James Kelliher also joined us from Hayes Connor Solicitors. James has vast experience in data breach law, and has been successful on a number of multi-claimant and group action claims. We are delighted that James and Bill have joined our team as our firm goes from strength to strength.   

In addition, Paul Neville joined us as a paralegal within our Investment Fraud & Mis-selling team. A seasoned litigator, prior to joining Keller Postman UK, Paul worked as a paralegal at several international and national law firms.
