The firm’s Dispute Resolution Team has been strengthened two-fold with Commercial Litigator Marcus Chapman being made Associate and Personal Injury Lawyer Chris Moore being promoted to Legal Director.
Marcus has 20 years of experience in Civil Litigation in both the private and public sectors, including contract and construction disputes, disputed probate matters and professional negligence, together with insolvency advice and business rescue. He also specialises in all forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution.
Chris heads Steeles Law’s Personal Injury Team and has 14 years of experience in his field. He represents companies and individuals involved in negligence claims and specialises in clinical negligence, asbestos related claims, and those involving a foreign jurisdiction.
The firm’s Dispute Resolution Team also recently saw the appointment of experienced litigator Katy Levy from Eversheds, which brings the number of litigators at Steeles Law to 11, a sign of the change in legal services. Over the past two years the firm has seen an increase in the number of disputes in both the consumer and commercial markets.
