Reynolds Porter Chamberlain has hired Stephen Smith from Mayer Brown as a partner in its competition practice.
Stephen spent seven years in the competition group at Slaughter and May in both London and Brussels and a year at Ofcom, where he advised on numerous competition and regulatory matters.
Jonathan Watmough, managing partner at RPC, says: “We have seen a growth in instructions from our existing clients on competition and related issues and we were keen both to respond to that need and to build opportunities with new clients.”
