As part of 26 partnership promotions made across the firm’s international operations, Eversheds announces a new partner promotion in its Johannesburg office.
Greg Shapiro has been named partner in the commercial group.
During the course of his experience, Greg has drafted and negotiated various commercial agreements, advised on public and private mergers and acquisitions and other transactions in the corporate, property, telecommunications and IT sectors as well as having performed numerous due diligences for corporate clients.
Greg’s practice areas include commercial agreements, contracts and dispute resolution as well as technology, media and telecoms.
This promotion follows the recent senior hire of Nitish Hurnaum, who joined Eversheds’ Mauritius office in their growing litigation practice. Nitish is a commercial litigation lawyer with a particular interest in intellectual property, public procurement and competition law.
Grant Williams, managing partner in Johannesburg, commented:
“Congratulations to Greg on his promotion. This is well-deserved recognition for not just high quality of work and hard work but also for matching expertise with flexibility and innovation to meet our clients’ changing needs.”
Bryan Hughes, chief executive at Eversheds, commented:
“It is always pleasing to recognise colleagues who have made such a significant contribution to our continued success.
“Once again, we have demonstrated that gender is no barrier to progression at Eversheds.
It seems apt that this announcement comes a few days after being confirmed by The Times as a Top 50 Employer for Women for the fifth year running.”
