Nicola McNeely
Harrison Clark RickerbysAppreciated for its ‘practical and cost-effective service’, as well as its ability and willingness to be engaged with the latest market trends, Harrison Clark Rickerbys has quickly gained traction since establishing an office in Cardiff in 2020. Much of the firm’s success in the area can be attributed to the efforts of ’knowledgeable and commercially astute’ team head Nicola McNeely, who is skilled at ‘explaining the most technical of subjects in a straightforward and meaningful way’, including blockchain and NFT matters. Another key practitioner is the vastly experienced data protection/cyber security expert Kerry Beynon, who joined in March 2024 from an in-house role, replacing David Beynon who became general counsel in the tech sector.
