Blacks Solicitors has expanded
its commercial dispute resolution (CDR) team with the appointment of three new solicitors,
Alannah

Victoria
Tynan and Christopher
Connell, and chartered legal executive Michelle Eyre, as
part of the firm’s latest intake. This brings the total number of CDR team
members to 24.
Alannah (pictured left) has joined the Holiday & Home
Parks team in order to bolster its expertise and help to maintain its position
as a specialist in the marketplace.
Victoria (pictured second from left) will support Ian Scobbie in
the insolvency team. Her expertise will add to the firm’s comprehensive
approach to handling intricate legal challenges in the realm of insolvency.
Christopher (pictured centre) has a particular interest in
litigation, including the dynamic realms of cryptocurrency, non-fungible tokens
and litigation arising out of the use and abuse of AI. Given significant
advances in technology and digital currency, this has become a key area for growth
for the CDR team at Blacks, which is keen to remain at the forefront of legal
innovation and adaptability.
Michelle (pictured right) brings her expertise to the real estate
litigation team, specialising in a broad spectrum of commercial landlord and tenant
matters.
Luke Patel (pictured second from right), partner and head
of commercial dispute resolution, said: ‘Our CDR team has gone from strength to
strength since its inception in 2000. The demand for litigation and support
services continues to increase from both new and existing clients due to a host
of factors, including continued economic uncertainty, political factors and our
reputation in the market.
‘We’re all excited and looking forward to Alannah, Victoria, Christopher and Michelle settling into the CDR team and the firm. I am confident that their combined expertise and contribution will have a positive impact on our client offering.’
