Neil Harrison—Square One Law

Litigation & commercial DR lawyer joins Newcastle firm

Neil Harrison has joined the litigation team of Newcastle commercial law firm, Square One Law, as a senior associate.

Neil has over 20 years’ practical experience as a litigation and commercial dispute resolution lawyer advising on a wide range of commercial disputes, risk assessment and mitigation strategies in the public, education, health, transport, housing, energy, sports and manufacturing sectors. 

He is experienced in all aspects of EU procurement law including procurement related disputes, commercial contractual disputes, PFI disputes, judicial review proceedings and public law disputes. 

Sunderland born Neil returned to the north east after studying law at Cambridge, and trained and then built his career at Dickinson Dees, now known as Bond Dickinson.

Neil says: “After being with the same firm for my whole career I was ready for a change and very interested in the ethos and ambition at Square One Law."

Head of litigation, Gillian Hulls, says: “Neil is already proving to be a great addition to our expanding team. He has extensive experience of mediation, arbitration and adjudication as well as the procurement process for both the private and public sectors. I have no doubt that he will make a great contribution to the team and the firm as a whole.”
