Law firm TLT has expanded its fast growing construction team in Manchester with the arrival of Jahanara Hussain as partner.
The strategic hire follows the appointment of TLT’s head of construction in the city, Sean McCay, in 2019.
Jahanara, who is a transactional construction specialist and joins from BLM Law, has twenty years’ experience and has also worked at Eversheds, Halliwells and Gateley. She will work alongside Sean, who has successfully built a team around him in the last year.
The latest move also supports TLT’s recent appointment to the North West Legal Consortium 2020-2024 legal services framework.
Jahanara has worked on numerous major infrastructure and development and engineering projects across the 海角视频 and overseas.
She has advised on complex projects in higher education, residential, retail, network distribution centres and various local infrastructure fund projects.
She advises private and public sector clients including developers, contractors, consultants, funders, end users, local authorities and private individuals, and is bringing active projects to TLT.
Graeme Orchison, location head for TLT in Manchester, says: “This is tremendous news for TLT as we look to deepen our capabilities across the full service team in Manchester.
