National law firm Freeths has appointed Construction and Engineering Partner Matt Collingwood-Cooper, expanding the firm鈥檚 sector offering across Yorkshire. He joins from Addleshaw Goddard.
Matt brings over 20 years鈥� experience in risk management and dispute resolution work. He is well regarded for his practical and tenacious approach; advising local, national and international clients, including household names, on construction related disputes. He has a particular interest in the utility sectors (water and energy), framework disputes, and in the PFI sector, where he has acted on a number of reported cases (including recently in the Court of Appeal).
In his new role, Matt will work closely with National Head of Construction and Engineering Chris Holwell and Leeds-based Construction and Engineering Partner Rachael Yates to further extend Freeths鈥� presence in the region during a crucial time of economic change under the new government.
Commenting on the appointment, Chris said: 鈥淢att鈥檚 arrival will strengthen the firm鈥檚 already strong construction and engineering sector offering. I鈥檓 confident that he will hit the ground running, providing an invaluable addition for our clients.鈥�
Matt added: 鈥淚t鈥檚 always exciting to start a new role, but I am especially proud to be joining such a fast-growing, nationally recognised firm as Freeths. The construction and engineering arm at the firm is absolutely first rate.听 I鈥檓 looking forward to delivering the full Freeths鈥� service for both new and existing clients.鈥�
