James Shaw was interviewed by Andrew Maloney for his latest article "Global Firm Enters Beantown, Grabbing Life Sciences Team" recently published by The American Lawyer. The article highlights the expansion of Withers UK-based Tech team, including a new Boston office and partners John Serio, Dr. Richard Emmons, Dr. Christopher Cowles, and patent specialist Kristina Scandore.

He added that the move is "a real signal to our client base that we're actively involved in tech and innovation around the world." Read the full article here.
