Muckle boosts senior team with three new equity partners
Muckle has strengthened its senior team with the promotion of three key partners to equity partner roles as part of its continued growth strategy.
The promotions span the firm's dispute resolution; sports, education and charities; and construction and engineering teams. Together, the three new equity partners bring extensive experience and specialist expertise, supporting Muckle's continued growth and long-term resilience.
George Festing, who has more than 22 years' experience, leads Muckle's dispute resolution team as well as its creatives, culture and media, and reputation teams. He specialises in contentious intellectual property, IT and data matters and has been recognised as a 'stand-out partner' in Legal 500 UK.
Joanne Davison, who leads the firm's sports, education and charities teams, is widely regarded as an expert in the education sector. Ranked a 'leading partner' in Legal 500 UK, she regularly provides strategic advice to education organisations and has led a range of complex projects, including some of the UK's largest merger and growth initiatives in the sector.
Adam Aston, head of Muckle's construction and engineering team, has nearly 20 years' experience and is recognised as one of the leading legal specialists in his field. Named a 'Next Generation Partner' by Legal 500 UK, he has advised on some of the North East's largest construction projects in recent years.
I am delighted to see three incredibly talented members of our Muckle team progress to becoming equity partners. I am looking forward to working with George, Jo and Adam as they take the next step in their careers. Each of them bring expertise, drive and leadership and I'm excited to have them on board to help drive forward our plans for growth and deliver the best for our people and our clients.
