Dentons' transport work centres on procurement, construction and real estate matters, with expertise in the rail, bus and coaches, and aviation sectors. Philip Knight joined the team from Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP in October 2023 to strengthen the firm’s litigation offering; the group has recently seen an increased flow of contentious mandates. Helming the practice is Mark Macaulay who has over three decades of experience and works with a UK-wide portfolio of transport clients on procurement and commercial contracts; he often works alongside David McGowan who is another skilled procurement practitioner. Roddy Cormack‘s non-contentious offering concentrates on construction and engineering related issues. Euan Wilson left the firm to join Addleshaw Goddard in January 2024, and Barry Edgar joined CMS in September 2023.
