“The appointment of John Wevill is great news for Clarkslegal. John has an outstanding reputation across the industry and we are very excited that he has joined us. He is the fourth addition to the construction team in the past year, alongside Hamish Gray, Jamie McGee and Asha Grewal, demonstrating our continued growth in construction and energy work, a very important area of Clarkslegal’s practice.
The profile of our contract advice, negotiation and related procurement work is increasing regionally, nationally and internationally. Significant new instructions this year, from existing and new clients, have been across a broad range of projects and sectors, demonstrating the strength and depth of our expertise.”
