The North West’s only solely commercial law firm has strengthened its foundations by appointing leading construction lawyer, Chris Scott.

Chris joins Blackburn-based Taylors Solicitors as a Partner, heading up the Construction team, from the Liverpool office of DWF LLP’s Construction and Engineering Division, after spending five years building Preston and Manchester based Ricksons, before its merge with DWF in 2007.

With over 20 years experience in construction work, Chris is well known on the recent Tythebarn Project in Preston and has acted for big names including Norwich Union, QBE and Lloyds Syndicates. 

Elaine Hurn, Managing Partner at Taylors said: “Chris is a great addition to the team, his knowledge and depth of experience means we can provide a ‘one stop shop’ dealing with all aspects of construction work for our clients.”

Originally from the North East, Chris has spent most of his working life in Preston where he has developed his impressive reputation in the building and engineering arena.
 
Chris added: “I am really pleased to be joining a dynamic firm with a reputation for getting things done, for bottom line advice and for exceptional quality. Taylors’ successes demonstrate the ability and quality of commercial advice available locally.”
 
“Chris’ reputation for ensuring that documentation is right the first time and for pursuing disputes to a successful conclusion is second to none. His work on large value and complex litigation matters means he will be an asset to the Taylors team,” explained Elaine.
