Construction and engineering law specialists Trowers & Hamlins has announced that its national head of projects and construction, Dr David Mosey, has been offered a Chair of Law at King's College, London, as director of its Centre of Construction Law and Dispute Resolution.
Dr Mosey has led the construction practice of Trowers & Hamlins for over 21 years, where he "forged a national reputation as an innovator and specialist in collaborative working". He is described by leading legal expert search firm Chambers & Partners as a "partnering guru...who gives something to the industry".
For six years he co-led the Government's National Change Agent programme, helping to secure major capital savings in social housing, combined with over 500 apprenticeships and significant contributions to the green economy. He currently leads advice on the Highways Maintenance Efficiency Programme and on several CITB-ConstructionSkills procurement initiatives. He also sits on the Cabinet Office/Infrastructure UK Trial Project Delivery Group and Trial Project Support Group.
Dr Mosey's new role at King's College, London, will include delivery of their highly respected MSc course in Construction Law, while also developing the centre's UK and international profile and closer links to Government and the construction industry. He will work with founders of the centre, John Uff QC and Phillip Capper (Nash Professor of Engineering), plus a wider team that includes the newly-recruited Professor Renato Nazzini and Dr Francine Baker.
Commenting on his new role, Dr Mosey said: "Trowers has recently been described in the construction world as 'a top law firm with a focus on fair play' and we are fortunate to have earned such a reputation.
"In these difficult economic times, the UK construction industry requires sustained support for its commitment to best practice. I look forward to working with King's College, London, through their education and research agendas to help provide that support."
Stephanie Canham and Charles Morrish will take over as national and London heads at Trowers & Hamlins from early April, while David Mosey will continue to serve as a consultant to the firm.
