North West law firm SAS Daniels has appointed Nigel Hyder, a commercial litigation expert, as a partner to its Stockport office. Nigel, who has over 20 years’ experience will join the 14 strong Dispute Resolution team.
Nigel, a commercial litigation lawyer, has substantial experience in resolving business and property disputes. He advises business owners on a range of commercial issues including contractual disputes, partnership and shareholder disputes and professional negligence. In addition, he also specialises in property litigation, providing advice to property professionals, landlords and tenants on business tenancy renewals; dilapidations and repairs; forfeiture of leases; boundary disputes and break options.
Chris MacCafferty, partner and head of the Dispute Resolution team (pictured right) said:
‘Nigel has a wealth of knowledge and contacts and we are delighted to welcome him to the team. He will have an important role to play in expanding our commercial disputes and professional negligence offerings and advising on complex property litigation cases’.
Nigel (pictured left of Chris) commented:
‘I am very pleased to join the dynamic and forward thinking team at SAS Daniels. I am committed to doing all I can to resolve my clients’ disputes without the need to go to court but if court proceedings are necessary I will fight my clients’ corner robustly. I look forward to introducing my clients and contacts to SAS Daniels and to advising the team’s growing commercial client base’.
Nigel’s appointment follows two other recent senior hires in the SAS Daniels Dispute Resolution team in 2013, including Paul Formby, who joined as an associate to help set up an insolvency practice and Ray Woodward who joined the team as a litigation expert in the Chester office.
Nigel has moved from JMW Solicitors, Manchester, where he was a partner in the Commercial Litigation team.
The Dispute Resolution team at SAS Daniels has recently had unprecedented growth and is on track to double turnover over the past two years.
