Squire Patton Boggs has made its first UK partner hire since the May announcement that Squire Sanders would unite with Patton Boggs, recruiting former Dundas & Wilson partner Andrew Walker to head its burgeoning UK real estate litigation team.
Walker left Dundas in January, just a year after joining, ahead of the leading Scottish firm’s merger with Walker’s former firm CMS Cameron McKenna, where he launched the real estate disputes team in 1993. He will now head up a growing UK real estate litigation team at Squire Patton Boggs, which was bolstered by the arrival of Alison Hardy from Wragge & Co in January.
