Firm welcomes the return of energy specialist
Matthew Kidwell has become a corporate partner at law firm Blake Morgan, assigned to their Cardiff and London offices.
Matthew began his career at Morgan Bruce (as the firm was then called) in 1989 before leaving to work for a leading US-based global law firm. In the meantime, he has garnered more than 20 years’ experience in the energy sector, including acquisitions and divestitures, farm-ins and farm-outs, petroleum licensing and concessions, project development, construction and joint ventures.
Matthew said: ‘I am delighted to be returning to my alma mater, Blake Morgan, and very proud to have the opportunity to join the firm's corporate team. The firm has evolved significantly over the years since I left Morgan Bruce as it was then known. It has developed a real depth of specialist expertise in numerous practice areas, as witnessed by rankings in the leading legal directories.’
Rob Cherry, head of the corporate and commercial division at Blake Morgan, said Kidwell’s expertise would build on ‘Blake Morgan's growing concentration of knowledge in the energy sector and enable us to provide an enhanced offering to clients in that dynamic industry’.
