Trio of hires in real estate and dispute resolution teams in Manchester

International law firm Asserson has expanded its Manchester office with three hires to strengthen its real estate and dispute resolution teams.

Adele Merifield and Sangiwe Mbele have joined the real estate team as a senior associate and paralegal respectively, while associate Moishe Noe is the latest addition to the dispute resolution team.

Moishe (centre), who trained and qualified at Fieldfisher, specialises in advising on commercial disputes such as breaches of contract, as well as professional negligence, shareholder disputes and restrictive covenants.

Adele (right) trained and qualified at DLA Piper and later moved to Norton Rose Fulbright in Dubai. She later worked as an in-house legal counsel at billboard company Wildstone. She advises a diverse client base, including landlords, tenants and businesses, on a range of topics from acquisitions and disposals to the management of commercial and residential properties.

Sangiwe (left) has a degree in criminology and is undertaking the Legal Practice Course at the University of Law. Before joining Asserson, she worked as a commercial property assistant at PM Property Lawyers in Sheffield, supporting solicitors involved in complex transactions.

Michael Clavell-Bate, partner and head of the Manchester office, said: 'We’re building something really exciting here and each of our three new team members brings valuable experience and a strong reputation in their respective fields.'
