Godalming: David Kendall joins Penningtons
Penningtons Solicitors LLP has announced the appointment of David Kendall as a partner in its corporate team. Kendall, who joins from Stevens & Bolton LLP in Guildford, where he was a senior associate, will be based at Penningtons’ Godalming office and work alongside head of corporate, Simon Bickerdike.
Kendall specialises in mergers and acquisitions, private equity, MBOs and insolvency based transactions, as well as corporate governance and shareholder disputes. He has particular expertise in the technology, hospitality, charity and educational sectors. His recent transactions include acting for a German client on the acquisition of a multi-national logistics business from an American listed group, the establishment of a joint venture in Australia for a UK based technology company and the investment by a venture capital firm in a leading online retailer.
Kendall’s appointment reflects Penningtons’ commitment to expanding its corporate team across its three offices and follows the recruitment this summer of former Berwin Leighton Paisner partner James Klein to head up the London corporate team. Kendall will focus on developing the firm’s corporate practice in Surrey and the wider South East area.
Commenting on his arrival at Penningtons, Simon Bickerdike said: "David is a significant addition to our team and he will have an important role to play as we continue to grow our corporate capability. His specialist industry knowledge complements the expertise of several of our firmwide sector teams and will enable us to further strengthen our client base."
