Slater Heelis appoints new head of corporate

Slater Heelis has promoted Rhian Owen to head of corporate commercial. Owen joined the team as an associate in 2014. Her promotion comes after continued success advising on acquisitions and disposals, private equity transactions, company reorganisations and joint ventures. She was instrumental in last year’s flotation of emerging biotech BiVictriX onto the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and had previously guided the cancer therapeutics business through its funding rounds on the journey to the listing. Previous department head Simon Wallwork will remain focused on client work.
