New partner for hospitality & leisure practice

Goodwin Procter has announced that Gretchen Scott will join the firm’s hospitality and leisure practice as a partner in the London office.

We are delighted that Gretchen has chosen to join the Goodwin team, and we are thrilled to welcome her into our partnership.”
