Commercial litigation partner returns to his Essex roots
Marc Thurlow, commercial litigation specialist, has re-joined Birkett Long as a partner after training as a solicitor with the firm. He worked at a City law firm in between.
He was one of the initial team members that established the firm’s Basildon office six years ago and, having worked at a City law firm, has now returned.
Marc specialises in resolving disputes that relate to the ownership and operation of companies, partnerships and LLPs, as well as disputes involving the financial services industry, professional negligence claims and contentious intellectual property matters.
He has been involved in a number of significant High Court decisions in recent years, one of which established a new point of law relating to the consequences of terminating a multi-party LLP agreement by repudiation.
Another enabled his previous law firm to recover more than £450,000 in legal fees under a contingency fee agreement, following a successful claim against a bank for damages arising from a mis-sold interest rate hedging product.
‘I qualified with Birkett Long in Chelmsford, then four of us helped to set up the Basildon office in 2011. It’s grown a lot since then,’ Marc said. ‘It’s good to come back as a partner and I look forward to putting my experience gained in the City to good use.’
Birkett Long is a full-service law firm with 24 partners, and offices in Chelmsford, Colchester and Basildon.
