Eversheds makes significant Middle East hire for consulting business

Law firm Eversheds has bolstered its Middle East Consulting offering with the hire of Principal Management Consultant Shery Ramezanian.

Following a successful legal career in the USA, coupled with a strong background in consulting, Shery brings with her focused skills in risk and compliance solutions, records management, legal strategy, team structures and project management. She is also vastly experienced in high-value transactions and deals.

Eversheds Consulting, which was launched in September 2010 has to date made great strides in the consulting market, with clients including Disney, GE, Lloyds Banking Group and Volvo.
