Freeths has bolstered its projects and rail practices with the appointment of director Rachel Crosier in London. She joins from A&O Shearman and will work alongside partners James Larmour and Tom Johnson to support growth in specialist PFI/PPP, major projects and rail and wider transport and infrastructure work.
An international infrastructure projects lawyer with more than 14 years’ experience, Crosier advises on the procurement, development, financing, delivery and operation of major schemes and associated regulatory frameworks. Her rail experience includes rolling stock public-private partnerships, major fleet procurements, operational and maintenance arrangements and depot infrastructure across the UK and international markets.
James Larmour said: ‘The infrastructure landscape is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and Rachel’s insight will be invaluable as we support clients through that evolution.’ He added that ‘as demand in this market continues to grow, particularly in specialist rail and transport portfolios, Rachel’s expertise will play an important role in enhancing the breadth and depth of our offering.’
Crosier said: ‘I’m delighted to be joining Freeths at a time when the firm is experiencing such strong growth across its infrastructure, rail and major projects work,’ adding: ‘I look forward to working closely with James, Tom and the wider team to support our clients across these expanding markets.’
