Squire Patton Boggs, a global law firm known for its extensive network and diverse legal services, recently expanded its Manchester office by adding two prominent figures, Victoria Jew and Charlotte Higham, to its partnership ranks. Jew and Higham bring significant expertise in their respective fields, enhancing the firm’s offerings and presence in the region.
Victoria Jew, previously a partner at Pinsent Masons, is highly regarded for her work with international and UK corporates, financial institutions, management teams, and entrepreneurs. Her experience centers on high-value and complex domestic and international transactions. Her role at Squire Patton Boggs will involve advising on strategic deals that align with the firm’s growth ambitions in the corporate sector.
Charlotte Higham joins Squire Patton Boggs from Addleshaw Goddard, where she made a name for herself in advising on substantial construction developments. Her expertise spans student accommodations, the broader living space sector, as well as office, life sciences, and logistics sectors. Higham’s proficiency extends to construction disputes, representing both claimants and defendants, thus providing a balanced perspective in legal proceedings.
The addition of Jew and Higham is seen as a strategic move to bolster Squire Patton Boggs’ capabilities in private equity and construction law, areas that are critical to the firm’s growth and client service strategies (source). Their combined experience and insights will likely be invaluable as the firm navigates the complexities of these sectors.
