International law firm Addleshaw Goddard has appointed Charlie Aitchison as partner in its construction and engineering disputes team. Aitchison joins from Vinson & Elkins, where he was a senior figure in the international construction disputes group, bringing extensive experience in high-value, technically complex matters.
Aitchison has advised on multi-billion-dollar arbitrations and disputes for clients across the energy, infrastructure and industrial sectors. ‘Joining Addleshaw Goddard represents a fantastic opportunity to be part of an outstanding team,’ he said, adding that he looks forward to helping grow the firm’s global practice.
His expertise spans disputes before the English High Court and international arbitration, acting for owners, developers, contractors, consultants and insurers. The appointment supports Addleshaw Goddard’s AG2030 strategy to expand its international disputes offering and follows the recent hire of partner Jack Kennedy in Ireland.
Andrew Greaves, head of construction and engineering, commented: ‘Charlie’s appointment underscores our commitment to growth… his experience in high-value disputes significantly enhances our construction litigation capabilities.’ The team now includes 35 partners and over 140 specialist fee-earners globally.
