International firm Trowers & Hamlins has boosted the construction litigation team with the arrival of partner Louise Elmes in London.
Louise joins the firm after almost four years with Fieldfisher, where she headed the contentious construction group and served as deputy head of construction. She offers more than 16 years of experience in contentious construction, construction-related professional negligence and contentious shipbuilding, and regularly advises developers, asset managers, high net worth individuals and contractors across the construction, real estate, energy, transport and infrastructure, and maritime sectors.
Trowers' head of litigation and contentious construction, Anthony Yates, commented: ‘We are delighted to welcome Louise to the 22-strong construction litigation team. Louise is highly regarded throughout the industry and particularly noted for her outstanding technical ability, tactical acumen, calm approach and judgment beyond her years. This appointment continues the strategic growth of our litigation team across the firm, ameliorating our drive to take an integrated, collaborative approach across all offices, sectors and areas of expertise. We are confident that Louise's experience and sector track record will strengthen our UK and international construction practice and expertise.’
Louise added: ‘It is a pleasure to join such a highly regarded, collaborative, ambitious, forward-thinking and growing construction team. The UK construction team includes eight contentious construction partners and 11 non-contentious construction partners across the London, Manchester, Birmingham and Exeter offices, offering a wealth of experience and expertise across all sectors of the construction industry. I look forward to developing new relationships in conjunction with my colleagues.’
