Eversheds welcomes further litigation partner

Eversheds appoints Adam Fisher to its Birmingham litigation team

Adam was previously a director at Gowling WLG where he has spent the last 12 years handling a wide range of commercial and corporate disputes for UK and international major corporates, hedge funds and high net-worth individuals. He joins hot on the heels of Jonathan Douglas’ hire as partner and will complement the expanding litigation group.

Adam specialises in high value and high reputation matters of strategic importance to clients with a focus on multi-party disputes. His practice is broadly segregated into three areas; general commercial litigation, reputation and crisis management and disputes in relation to the misuse of confidential information.

In his general commercial litigation practice Adam focuses on contract governance and risk management, allegations of breach of contract and resulting claims (including supply chain management issues), negotiated contract exits, contract terminations and resulting claims and litigation concerning allegations of conspiracy, fraud and deceit. He has particular experience in the defence, aerospace, TMT and automotive sectors.

Gary Pellow, Partner and UK Head of Commercial Dispute Resolution at Eversheds comments:

“Adam brings a broad range of complementary litigation skills to the core commercial disputes practice which is already performing strongly. He will be a welcome addition to the team in Birmingham where he already has a strong regional reputation. I’m delighted that Helen Amison is also joining the team from Gowling WLG as a senior associate”

David Beswick, Birmingham Senior Partner says:

“We are very pleased to welcome Adam to the office, he has a strong track record and we look forward to working with him as part of the team.”

Adam Fisher adds:

“I am looking forward to joining Eversheds and developing and building the commercial litigation practice. The Eversheds international offering is clearly an impressive and truly global service. The geographical reach as well as the strength of the sectors I will be focusing on makes the practice very attractive.”
