The freshly-merged Squire Patton Boggs has appointed a new UK head of real estate litigation, with Andrew Walker joining the firm's Birmingham office to fulfil the role.
Walker (pictured), joined the firm earlier this year from CMS Cameron McKenna. He originally founded CMS' real estate disputes practice, before joining Dundas & Wilson in 2012.
He departed Dundas at the beginning of this year, after it merged with CMS Cameron McKenna.
Nick Green, managing partner of Squires' Birmingham office, said: "Andrew is an experienced, well connected real estate litigator who will expand the capabilities of our litigation and real estate practices in Birmingham and across the UK."
Within the role Walker will advise a range of clients including institutional investors, developers, banks, corporate and charity owners and occupiers of real estate on their property disputes.
"Andrew is a great addition to our already successful real estate litigation team," commented UK litigation head Simon Miller.
"With Andrew at the helm, supported by senior real estate barrister, Patrick Walker, Alison Hardy and Helen Hoath, we will have a team with unrivalled experience in providing client- focused solutions in this important practice area."
Walker is the fourth partner to join the firm's real estate practice group this year with Rachel Orton and Gary Paddison joining the London real estate team and Alison Hardy joining the London real estate litigation practice.
The merger bewtween legacy firms Squire Sanders and Patton Boggs went live June 1 this year, after Patton Boggs turned down a rival offer from Dentons.
