Ashurst announces the appointment of Iain Travers as a partner in its real estate dispute resolution group in London.
Formerly head of Nabarro’s real estate dispute resolution team, Iain advises on the full range of contentious real estate issues. A fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Iain is also a past chairman of the Property Litigation Association, an accredited mediator and on the panel of arbitrators appointed by the Presidents of the Law Society and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
Commenting on the appointment, Ashurst’s head of dispute resolution, Simon Bromwich, said:
“Dispute resolution and real estate are core focuses for the firm and Iain’s appointment is a further important step in developing our real estate sector practice. It is also consistent with our target of growing our dispute resolution capability. Iain is a highly respected lawyer who will bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the group.”
Richard Vernon, head of real estate, added:
“Real estate dispute resolution is a key area of our real estate sector practice. London continues to attract a high volume of foreign investment in prime properties and there is also likely to be further unravelling of many distressed assets in the UK and across Europe. As a firm of choice in this area, we continue to be very well placed to capitalise on market opportunities.”
