Flint Bishop makes experienced partner hire
Derby-headquarted law firm Flint Bishop has hired an experienced partner to its litigation practice.
Sarah Burton, who brings over 20 years of experience in commercial litigation, joins Flint Bishop from the counterpart Knights.
Burton specialises in commercial litigation, with a particular emphasis on resolving property-related disputes.
She has also spent 12 years offshore handling cross-border cases involving partnership disputes, shareholder disagreements and professional negligence claims.
Qamer Ghafoor, chief executive at Flint Bishop, said: “We are delighted to welcome Sarah to the commercial litigation team. Her vast experience in both UK and offshore markets, coupled with her leadership in significant cases, will be a tremendous asset as we continue to expand our services. Sarah’s addition to the team further enhances Flint Bishop’s ability to provide top-tier legal expertise and supports the firm’s ongoing growth in the commercial litigation arena.
“This significant appointment follows a series of recent senior hires as the firm continues its commitment to delivering outstanding results for our clients and fits perfectly with our mission of providing high-quality legal support across all sectors.”
The appointment follows Flint Bishop’s recent acquisition of the banking litigation and recoveries division from Walker Morris, as well as the opening of the firm’s new offices in Leeds earlier this month.
