Law firm Shepherd and Wedderburn has significantly strengthened its media and technology team with the recruitment of a new partner, Kenneth Mullen in London.

Mullen joins Shepherd and Wedderburn in the New Year following six years as a partner at City technology law boutique Kemp Little LLP. His expertise in the commercial technology field includes technology licensing and procurement, IP, data security and privacy law, competition law, e-commerce and new media, agency and distribution.

Mullen has worked on behalf of a distinguished list of UK, US and international organisations, and advising on operational and transactional work for a range of clients in the financial, retail, leisure, media and technology sectors.

Mullen, whose experience will complement that of the existing technology, IP and telecoms team will be based in Shepherd and Wedderburn's London office.

Mullen who has also spent spells in-house is qualified to practise in both England and Scotland.

Shepherd and Wedderburn chief executive, Patrick Andrews, said:
"Kenneth's decision to join Shepherd and Wedderburn is a real coup for the firm and another major boost to our London operation. We have seen significant growth in IT, telecoms and IP sectors in recent years and we are committed to appointing the most knowledgeable, experienced staff to ensure that these sectors continue to develop.

"Kenneth is already recognised as being an extremely talented young lawyer and his track record of delivery for clients is extremely impressive. We believe that Kenneth can further develop his skills and his client base at Shepherd and Wedderburn. He will work with media and technology partner Paul Carlyle to help further develop our established IT, IP and telecoms teams"

Mullen is the second new partner to join Shepherd and Wedderburn's London office in six months following Jenny Cottrell in May 2005. His appointment brings Shepherd and Wedderburn's total number of partners to 55.
