Pan-European accelerator company GorillaPark has hired a Salans Hertzfeld & Heilbronn partner as its part-time European general counsel.

Richard Thomas, a London-based corporate partner, has been seconded to the company for two days a week.
GorillaPark, a Salans client, had been trying to recruit a European general counsel, but was unable to find the right person. Thomas will fill the role on a part-time basis until a permanent recruitment is made, which could be well into next year.
