Partner re-joins firm in Manchester
Trowers & Hamlins has welcomed a new partner to its growing property litigation team. Dan Banks, who was previously with Trowers from 2017 to 2019, re-joins the firm from Fieldfisher, where he was a legal director. He is based in Trowers’ Manchester office.
Dan has 14 years’ experience in advising on disputes in relation to the acquisition, disposal, development and management of real estate. His national practice focuses in particular on landlord and tenant matters, and acting on complex ad-hoc disputes for developers, investors and occupiers.
Previously based in London, in early 2020 he relocated to Manchester to set up Fieldfisher’s Manchester property litigation team, where he was the lead property litigator.
Commenting on Dan’s appointment, Manchester head of office and head of real estate sector Suzanne Benson said: ‘We are delighted to have Dan re-join Trowers with us here in Manchester. The breadth of his experience in property litigation issues is a real asset to the firm and he really complements our wider real estate team both in Manchester and nationally. We are looking to forward to working with him again and having him as part of our growing Manchester-based team.’
Dan added: ‘It’s great to be back at Trowers, and particularly in the property team at the Manchester office. The office’s renown has grown massively in my time away and I am excited to be coming back and do my part to help with its growth, that of the property sector and the broader firm overall.’
