Faegre Benson Hobson Audley has received a boost to its London corporate profile with the appointment of head of corporate Max Audley as the only lawyer to sit on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) advisory board.

The high-ranking appointment, which will last for an initial period of two years, sees Audley sit alongside a small panel of bankers, nominated advisers and financiers who provide advice to the stock exchange on the development of the AIM market and potential rule changes.
