Law firm promotes two dispute resolution partners

Law firm Travers Smith has recently promoted two partners to their dispute resolution team.

John Lee advises and acts on a wide range of substantial, complex and high-profile commercial disputes, many involving multiple jurisdictions. His experience includes banking and finance, derivatives and capital markets disputes, professional negligence claims, business and human rights claims and competition litigation, acting for international banks, financial institutions, corporates and high-net-worth individuals.

Joe Moore's practice covers a broad range of commercial litigation, acting for both claimants and defendants. Since joining Travers Smith, Joe has been heavily involved in the defence of follow-on damages claims in the Competition Appeal Tribunal and also has extensive experience in relation to high value claims against various professionals (including solicitors and accountants).  

Rob Fell, Head of Dispute Resolution at Travers Smith said: 'We are all so pleased about the promotion of John Lee and Joe Moore into the Dispute Resolution partner team from 1 July this year. Both have really proved themselves over the past few years, and their elevation into the partnership is thoroughly deserved.'
