Trowers strengthens Manchester commercial litigation team with partner hire

Law firm Trowers & Hamlins has bolstered its Dispute Resolution and Litigation team in Manchester with the hire of partner Steve Dunseath.

The firm said Dunseath “has a wealth of experience in resolving disputes for clients operating in both the private and public sectors, by way of formal litigation processes and mediation/negotiation”.

At Trowers his focus will be on commercial dispute resolution and risk management for local, national and international clients.

Dunseath said: "It's an incredibly exciting time for Trowers & Hamlins and for the Manchester office in particular. I'm really looking forward to working with the team and am delighted to be part of realising the ambition for growth of both the office itself and the firm's national Dispute Resolution team."

Lucy James, head of Trowers & Hamlins' commercial litigation practice, said: "I'm delighted to welcome Steve to Trowers. His appointment demonstrates the team's expansion nationally; he will play a key role in supporting continued plans for growth regionally and nationally, adding value to our dispute resolution offering in both the public and private sector space."
