The U.K. firms Simmons & Simmons, Gowling WLG, and Scotland-based Brodies have pushed back against the Big Four accounting firms’ encroachment into the legal market by making senior hires from EY.

Simmons has launched a technology, media and telecoms (TMT) VAT consulting practice with the hire of EY director Joanna Crookshank, who spent 13 years at the accounting giant. In her most recent role at EY, she led its TMT indirect tax team, and she joined Simmons as a nonlawyer partner this month.
