Hammonds has bolstered its London construction team with a double partner hire from Watson Burton.
Olivia Bateman and Lawrence Bruce, who were both partners at Watson Burton’s London office, become partners within Hammonds’ built environment group, which includes lawyers from the firm’s property, planning, construction and private finance initiative (PFI) teams. Both focus on non-contentious construction work, with Bruce’s practice also covering projects and PFI deals. He is currently advising on the development of London’s St Pancras station.
