Law firm Ward Hadaway has appointed Dan Lyon as a partner in its Built Environment team.
Dan, who is based at the firm’s office in Leeds, deals with a range of contentious and non-contentious construction and engineering matters and provides advice to a range of clients.
In his previous firm, Dan rose to become a partner after originally joining as a trainee in 2005.
He brings over 17 years’ experience working with developers, contractors, subcontractors, and lenders.
Commenting on his new role, Dan, 40, said: “Ward Hadaway’s Built Environment team is considered as one of the most experienced northern-based teams in the sector.
“One of the main reasons which significantly attracted me to this role was the opportunity to help further grow the Built Environment team and to build on the reputation already forged in the Yorkshire region.
“Ward Hadaway’s ethos of caring for their staff came across very clearly in my discussions, and this is a value close to my heart.
“I was delighted to see the firm has recently achieved the Investors In People Gold accreditation, a recognition which reinforced my conviction that I had made the right decision in joining the firm.
“I’m really looking forward to working with my new colleagues and clients and am excited to get started.”
Stephen Radcliffe – a partner in the Built Environment team responsible for growing the firm’s construction and engineering service in Leeds – said: “I’d like to offer a warm welcome to Dan, and I know he will add great value to the service we provide to new and existing clients.
“He has a wealth of experience and is joining us at a really exciting time as we continue to strengthen and grow our service right across the north.”
