Firm boosts travel practice with Manchester hire
International law firm Kennedys has boosted its travel practice with the appointment of Andrew Morton to its Manchester office.
Previously head of head of travel law at Pannone LLP and Minster Law, Andrew will spearhead Kennedys’ travel business in the north and joins as a senior associate. He will work closely with Claire Mulligan and Justin Collins, and their 20-strong travel and tourism team based in London, who joined from Plexus in March this year to launch Kennedys’ travel practice.
Andrew’s specialism covers personal injury, recoveries, and general litigation related to travel and tourism. Much of his practice area is in private international law and includes acting for travel insurers and on behalf of tour operators, travel agents, hotels and other travel industry bodies.
Claire Mulligan, head of Kennedys’ travel practice, says: “We are delighted to welcome Andrew to the team. With Andrew and Kennedys there were immediate synergies in terms of our clients and market focus. His experience will be of immense benefit to the firm and our clients, and I’m looking forward to working with him to further grow the practice in the north and across the UK.”
Andrew adds: “I am excited to be joining Kennedys. The firm has an outstanding reputation and a first-class travel practice, with impressive growth in recent years. I’m excited to be helping establish the north west branch of the travel team and working with Claire and her team.”
