Ward Hadaway has appointed two new solicitors to the law firm’s growing built environment team in Newcastle.
Philippa Jones (pictured left) joins as an associate solicitor responsible for a wide range of contentious and non-contentious construction and engineering matters, and Victoria Chatteron (right) joins as a solicitor acting for a variety of construction and engineering clients in drafting, reviewing and negotiating consultancy appointments, collateral warranties and standard contracts working from project inception.
Jones said: “Ward Hadaway has a great reputation in the region with an impressive client roster and collegiate atmosphere. I’m looking forward to building my construction practice throughout the region by supporting local major infrastructure projects in addition to national clients. I am delighted to have joined this expanding team at such an exciting time.”
Chatterton said: “I’m really enjoying my new role and it’s an exciting time to be joining this growing team. Ward Hadaway has a great reputation and is one of the leading law firms in the north so I am grateful to be able to apply my knowledge and experience with construction clients across the region.”
Paul Reekie, partner and head of Ward Hadaway’s construction and engineering service, added: “This is a really exciting time as we continue to strengthen our built environment team to support our growing client base. Our priority is to attract and recruit high-calibre solicitors to ensure we can provide an all-encompassing service for our clients across many specialisms.
“In the last three months alone, we have made six significant appointments within the team across all three of our regions and I’m confident Philippa and Victoria will complement and add value to our existing relationships with our clients.”
