We’re pleased to welcome John Parpounas-Matossian, who has joined TWM as a Partner in the Corporate and Commercial team.

John specialises in corporate law and will work closely with the team to cover London and the South market. John has 20 years of top-tier City and Surrey experience in the field and advises on the whole spectrum of corporate transactions, both domestic and cross-border, for businesses ranging in size from SMEs to multinationals. He also advises entrepreneurs who are in the early stages of their ventures, corporate officers and shareholders.  

John has a particular focus on share and business acquisitions and disposals, shareholder arrangements and strategic alliances, corporate finance and group reorganisations. Alongside his corporate practice, John’s expertise also bolsters TWM’s real estate finance practice, having acted primarily on the borrower side for residential property developers and technology companies. 

John’s arrival follows the recent promotion of Nicole Syradd to the position of Associate in the Corporate and Commercial team. Nicole joined TWM in 2016, and having successfully qualified as a solicitor with the firm, she has worked as part of the team to support clients in the full range of corporate law matters.  Nicole’s promotion is testament to the stellar start to her career and the high regard in which she is held both by clients and colleagues alike. 

David Powell, Head of Business Law at TWM, said: “We’re very pleased to be welcoming a partner of John’s calibre to the firm and our expanding Corporate and Commercial team. John’s arrival and Nicole’s promotion underline our ongoing commitment to the regional market, and the importance we place on delivering the best possible service to our clients. John is an exceptional corporate lawyer who strengthens our firm across multiple practices and sectors.” 

John said: “There are clear synergies between my practice and TWM's vision to strengthen its corporate practice and real estate finance offering. This is a natural step in my career, and I’m excited by the challenge”. 

TWM’s Corporate and Commercial team has expanded considerably in recent times, in relation to both the provision of corporate and commercial law services. The team is ranked in the Legal 500, one of the most authoritative legal directories in the UK.
