In the last year, Quantuma has experienced staff growth of 45%, boasting a 273-strong team, up from 188 in 2020. Recent senior hires in the UK have included managing director appointments for its growing forensic accounting team, David Bell and Kate Hart as well as Ben Hammerton to lead its eDiscovery offering.
The firm has also expanded its international presence with the hire of Poland-based managing director Adam Markiewicz and with the opening of its first base in the Middle East, led by managing director Yaser Dajani in Dubai.

The firm is at an exciting moment in its journey as it expands into key locations across the globe.”
