Dentons has appointed James Meakin as a partner in the firm’s corporate tax practice in London. He joins the practice from Charles Russell Speechlys, where he worked for five years.

Meakin will offer clients advice on M&A deals, group reorganisations and joint ventures. His expertise covers real estate transactions and finance, as well as venture capital and private equity. Meakin has worked for PwC, White & Case and Taylor Wessing.

Meakin is the second partner to join Dentons in London during the last year. His hire follows the recruitment of partner Alex Tostevin from Weil Gotshal & Manges in June 2017.
