His arrival follows the firm’s recent award success in the Northern Law Awards, winning Team of the Year – Litigation and Dispute Resolution, when Swinburne Maddison was cited for ‘the calibre of its strong home-grown litigation and dispute resolution team’ as well as its ‘impressive breadth of expertise’.
With experience in all manner of real property, landlord and tenant and housing disputes, Scott will be advising on a wide range of property litigation matters such as termination and renewal of tenancies, dilapidations, rent reviews, unlawful eviction and general commercial property management issues for some of Swinburne Maddison’s key clients.
Speaking about his appointment, he said: “I was attracted to the role at Swinburne Maddison because of its forward-thinking approach and fantastic reputation. This, coupled with the fact that many staff have remained here for their entire careers speaks volumes about the firm’s working environment and ethos. It was simply too good an opportunity to miss.
“Looking to the future, I aim to develop Swinburne Maddison’s impressive client base within the private residential and commercial property sectors whilst demonstrating that companies seeking high quality legal representation do not have to go outside the region or for that matter, head south – it is readily available in Durham.”
