Bristows has made its second raid in three months on technology rival Bird & Bird, hiring IT partner Hazel Grant.
Grant is a data protection and public procurement specialist whose clients include central government departments, online retailers and professional partnerships. She is the third new partner in Bristows’ growing IT and outsourcing group this year.
Grant follows the hires of Bird & Bird senior associate Toby Crick, who joined Bristows as a partner in September, and Fiona Nicolson, who joined as a partner from Maclay Murray & Spens in June.
