Joining Halebury are Michelle Harris, Alex Stewart and Paula Jackson. Kingsley Napley corporate partner Michelle brings with her the England football team as a client.

Alex, the former head of legal at Arqiva Broadcast & Media, the company behind most of the UK’s television, radio, satellite and wireless communications infrastructure, brings a raft of corporate TMT experience from his time leading the legal team at Arqiva and previously at NTL, where he was senior legal adviser. Paula is the former Virgin Media senior legal counsel.
