O’Connors strengthens regulatory team

Liverpool-based business law firm O’Connors has appointed competition law specialist Laurence Pritchard as a consultant solicitor, enhancing its regulatory capabilities. 

Laurence, a nationally recognised expert, has handled high-profile competition law matters for both national and international clients and is highly ranked by Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners.
