Wright Hassall—Anna Albini & Perveen Dhami

Leamington-based Wright Hassall has appointed two experienced professionals, Anna Albini and Perveen Dhami, to the property litigation team
Anna joins the company as a partner, bringing with her 16 years of experience after qualifying and working for Weightmans and then, latterly at Birmingham firm Emms Gilmore Liberson where she worked with Perveen.

 

Perveen has over 13 years of experience in property litigation, having worked at Anthony Collins Solicitors, and then as associate director at Emms Gilmore Liberson. She has also held positions at Gowling WLG, Squire Sanders LLP and Squire Patton Boggs.

Both specialise in the commercial side of property litigation and will join the growing team at the top Midlands law firm.

Anna said: ‘Wright Hassall has a very impressive client base and an excellent reputation which was why I was keen to join the company.

‘The firm has big aspirations for this year and, working with the property team, I am keen to continue to build the commercial aspects of our practice.

‘I’m looking forward to contributing to the firm’s growth and reputation as one of the top legal firms in the region.’

Wright Hassall is ranked in the top tier in the Legal 500 for its commercial litigation team.

Perveen added: ‘It has been a seamless transition into the team for both me and Anna and the fact that we have worked together before is particularly useful. 

‘The team has been very welcoming and supportive and I am looking forward to working with them all.’

Gemma Carson at Wright Hassall added: ‘Both Anna and Perveen are bringing some highly relevant specialised commercial experience to the property team, bringing more strength and depth to our dispute resolution team.

‘The team already operates and supports our regional business community with experts in construction, employment, intellectual property, commercial, corporate and professional advice disputes, alongside our offering to private individuals with professional and clinical negligence disputes, unfair prejudice, director duties, shareholder, and partnership disputes, and contentious probate.

‘It’s been a priority for the firm to continue expanding and these new appointments underline our commitment to strengthening our specialist litigation expertise as part of our growth plans. This year we have already appointed two new partners, made five promotions to associate level, and three to senior associate roles.

‘We are also proud to be the largest dispute resolution team in Coventry and Warwickshire.’
