Simon Catto heads up Addleshaw Goddard‘s broader dispute resolution practice, which includes legal director and solicitor advocate Edward Gratwick, the firm’s main contact for property litigation. Much of Gratwick's recent work requires commercial litigation expertise but he has also assisted private clients with residential sector disputes. Capabilities in dilapidations and insolvency-related work were strengthened with the arrival of Claire Thornber from Weightmans LLP in September 2022.
