2025 kicks off with a bang for Cooper Parry Law as we welcome two experienced hires to our growing legal team. Anna Hewitson joins as Partner, and Kieran Cornish as Manager. They both bring a wealth of expertise from their time at PwC and other leading law firms. It’s a major win for CP Law and a testament to the transformational journey we’re on as a next-gen professional services firm.
Anna and Kieran aren’t just legal experts — they’re problem-solvers, opportunity-creators, and business navigators. Their impressive backgrounds span corporate restructuring, M&A, domestic and international business reorganisations, and more. They’ve honed their skills working alongside tax, accounting, and deals teams to deliver seamless solutions for businesses navigating change, growth, and complexity.
Now, they’re bringing that expertise to Cooper Parry Law. They’ll be working hand-in-hand with CP’s tax, accounting, and deals teams to deliver integrated legal support that grows alongside our clients and gets results.
Anna and Kieran’s arrival is a further step forward in our mission to disrupt the traditional legal market by embedding legal support within a wider professional services firm.
EMILY WATERHOUSE, Head of Law at CP, said:
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to have Anna and Kieran on the team. Their expertise and fresh perspectives are exactly what CP Law is all about — ensuring Cooper Parry provides joined-up advice spanning both tax, accounting and legal issues. We’re proving that legal support can be dynamic, innovative, and genuinely client-focused. By working alongside our tax, deals and accounting teams, we’re offering a truly holistic approach to tackling our clients’ challenges. We’re building something special here, and their arrival marks another exciting milestone for the team.”
ANNA HEWITSON, Partner, shared her excitement:
“Cooper Parry has an inspiring strategy, buckets of ambition and a revolutionary culture and ethos. I’m so excited to be part of it and to show Cooper Parry clients what it means to work with a truly embedded legal team offering a seamless service alongside the existing services that they have come to expect from CP.”

By collaborating with our tax, deals, and accounting teams, we will provide a comprehensive, one-stop shop to meet all our clients’ needs. My commitment is to deliver seamless and exceptional client service, ensuring that every client receives the highest level of support and expertise.”
