**Top 200 corporate law firm, Shulmans LLP, has bolstered its offering with the appointment of a new partner to head up its construction team. **

Sarah Wilson joins Leeds-based Shulmans as head of construction from Watson Burton LLP where she was a partner for eleven years.

Wilson boasts over 20 years’ experience in the sector, advising in contentious and non-contentious matters for heavyweight projects on behalf of developers, contractors and consultants alike.

Commenting on her new appointment, Wilson added: “Shulmans has an enviable reputation, with year on year growth and an impressive portfolio of regional, national and international clients. The culture of the firm and its approach to recognising and nurturing talent really resonated with me and I look forward to helping shape and grow the team further.”
