Thames Valley: Shoosmiths boosts practice with partner promotion
Tax expert Tom Wilde has stepped up from his role as senior associate at national law firm Shoosmiths to become a partner in the corporate team. The promotion took effect from May 1, 2015.

I wish him every success for his future at Shoosmiths.”
