England - London • Projects, energy and natural resources
Trowers & Hamlins LLP
A key point of differentiation for the infrastructure group at Trowers & Hamlins LLP is its impressive and deep portfolio of PFI / PPP work, with the firm working with a host of national and regional public sponsors and public sector commissioners. While the firm has an international reach – with mandates in the Middle East and Asia – the team's most significant instructions are development, expansion and relocation projects in UK cities, such as Birmingham and London. Paul McDermott has been a key driver of the firm's expanding work in life sciences, medical research and sports, with a particular interest in emerging technologies. Scott Dorling is active on leisure PPPs and other social infrastructure projects, while Amardeep Gill handles the group’s matters based in Birmingham. Assad Maqbool is noted for public sector education work, while Lucy Doran is actively involved in NHS work, as well as being engaged in a plethora of housing regeneration schemes.
