Bird & Bird has strategically expanded its reach by acquiring partners from DLA Piper in Sydney and Clifford Chance in London. Nicholas Boyle has joined Bird & Bird’s technology practice in Sydney after a five-year tenure at DLA Piper, where he was a technology and cyber partner. Boyle’s expertise includes technology, data protection, M&A, and data breach response, catering to major Australian clients. This move aligns with Bird & Bird’s ambitions to strengthen its technology and data protection team in light of looming privacy law changes in Australia.
In London, Andrew Dean, formerly Clifford Chance’s head of public law, has joined Bird & Bird as a partner. Dean brings extensive experience in public and private sector issues, including regulatory and policy development. His background and ability to establish new practices will support Bird & Bird’s clients amidst evolving legal regimes.
