Addleshaw Goddard has boosted its projects team with the hire of DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary’s Manchester head of commercial and projects, Nick Ogden.

Ogden’s commercial and PFI practice focuses on structured joint ventures, which are used to partner businesses and agencies on major PFI and public procurement initiatives. The niche is a key area in which Addleshaws hopes to develop its projects practice.
