Travel lawyer Farina Azam is joining specialist firm Fox Williams as a partner to strengthen further its sector practice.
Azam specialises in providing regulatory advice and advising on commercial and technology contracts in the travel industry and moves to the business law firm from Deloitte Legal in London where she was a partner and head of travel.
She has more than 12 years of expertise in the travel trade with experience in drafting and advising on commercial and technology agreements, as well as giving regulatory advice on issues such as the package travel and Atol regulations.
Her arrival takes the number of partners in Fox Williams’ travel team to three, following Lucy England arriving in 2021 and Rhys Griffiths to lead the travel group in 2019.
Griffiths said: “Farina is a regulatory expert and brings in-depth knowledge of how the travel industry works today.
“Her commercial expertise means she is well placed to advise our travel clients on their most pressing issues.
“The travel industry is a highly successful area of focus for Fox Williams, particularly in relation to online travel, and Farina’s arrival will ensure our team goes from strength to strength.”
Azam said: “It’s a pleasure to be joining Fox Williams and to bring my commercial and travel regulatory expertise to the firm. I’m very keen to start contributing to such a highly respected team in the industry.”
