Irwin Mitchell has appointed William Scott as a partner in its expanding real estates disputes team.
Scott joins the law firm from Bates Wells where he was head of real estates disputes. At Irwin Mitchell, he will work with London head of real estate disputes, partner Paul Henson, in a team of seven specialist real estate disputes lawyers in London.
Danny Revitt, joint head of real estate disputes at Irwin Mitchell, said: “Will’s arrival will be a real boost to our national real estate disputes practice, particularly in London, where we are already highly regarded but are keen to develop and grow the team further. His expertise in ESG, business rates and telecoms will further strengthen our offer as these are key issues our clients are concerned about and wish us to help address.”
Tim Rayner, joint head of real estate disputes at Irwin Mitchell, added: “Our national real estates disputes team has more than doubled in size in the last five years, reflecting the challenges investors, developers and occupiers face in the modern real estate industry. We have a strong and sizeable practice already but look forward to working with Will to further strengthen our offer to clients. We wish him a warm welcome.”
