Luke Morgan joined the firm in 2011 as a trainee solicitor, specialising in commercial litigation and dispute resolution. He qualified as a solicitor in September 2013, and became a salaried partner in 2016. As of 1 August 2018, he will move to the position of equity partner, and will continue to lead the firm’s commercial litigation and dispute resolution, company commercial and employment departments. He offers a wealth of experience in the field, particularly in shareholder disputes and professional negligence claims.

I know that our clients very much value his advice and can depend on this same level of service for years to come.’
