Halliwells Builds Construction Team with Partner Appointment

Law firm Halliwells has strengthened its expanding construction department with the appointment of partner, Andrew MacCuish.

Andrew has over 25 years experience in all aspects of construction law and primarily specialises in non contentious matters and engineering. He joins the firm from Eversheds and will be based at Halliwells' Sheffield office, working closely with the firm's Sheffield head of construction David Fearon and national construction head, Karen Spencer.

Commenting on his decision to join Halliwells, Andrew MacCuish said:

"Over the years I have worked with the construction team at Halliwells, particularly Karen and David, on a variety of construction matters and have always been impressed with their professional approach and general know how.

"Halliwells has first rate construction clients and has steadily and consistently increased its market share in recent years.   The firm's Sheffield office is also very much on the up. It is dynamic, progressive and somewhere I'm very much looking forward to working."

Said David Fearon, partner and head of construction in Sheffield:

"We are delighted to welcome Andrew to the firm. He is a well respected construction lawyer who will complement our team ideally. Our construction team, both in Sheffield and nationally, continues to expand and Andrew's arrival is a very positive development."

Said Karen Spencer, national head of construction at Halliwells:

"This is a significant appointment for our construction team which now has twenty seven lawyers and is coming to the fore on a national level. Andrew has wide ranging connections and is well regarded throughout the industry. We are very much looking forward to working with him as we continue to develop our construction practice."
