Stratford-upon-Avon-headquartered law firm Lodders has recruited a new partner.
Construction law specialist Paul Wilson will work closely with the company's commercial property team, dispute resolution team, and the real estate practice generally.
Wilson specialises in contentious and non-contentious construction and engineering law and has experience advising and acting on behalf of lenders, developers, main contractors, specialist sub-contractors, educational establishments, professional service providers, high net worth individuals and investors, alongside his niche expertise in party wall disputes.
He has joined Lodders from Birmingham firm Tyndallwoods Solicitors and has previously worked as a construction partner at Morgan Cole – now Blake Morgan - in Oxford, after spending the early part of his career at Eversheds in Birmingham.
He will be based at Lodders’ headquarters and work across the firm’s Midlands and South West office network.
Wilson said: "Lodders has both a wonderful reputation and existing client base.
"This is a rare and attractive opportunity to develop this new role which complements the firm’s existing successful commercial property, real estate, planning and dispute resolutions practices."
Managing partner Paul Mourton, who is head of the firm’s real estate team, said: "Paul’s arrival completes the range of services within our real estate offering, as we have been looking for a construction expert for the past few years.
"Lodders’ depth of commercial property expertise is exceptional for a regional, non-City firm, and is now supported by construction expertise that complements our existing and unrivalled planning, highways and rights of way specialisms.
"Not only does Paul’s appointment represent the addition of another pedigree lawyer to our heavyweight real estate practice, but his expertise enhances our development and investment specialism."
