Law firm SAS Daniels LLP www.daniels.co.uk has strengthened its litigation team with the appointment of one of the region’s leading consultants.

Peter Moore has joined SAS Daniels after spending the last 10 years at DWF in Manchester as a partner. He brings a wealth of expertise, particularly in advising partnerships and LLPs, to the firm which now boasts a 10 strong litigation group.

Commenting on future of the legal profession, Peter said: “It has been widely acknowledged that 2011 has the potential to be a difficult year for the legal profession, but there is still a great deal of commercial activity taking place in the North West which makes it crucial to have the right team on board to provide expert advice.

“Litigation in particular is becoming increasingly important to businesses so the demand among commercial clients seeking high calibre expert advice is likely to increase as the professional landscape continues to change.

“I am delighted to be joining SAS Daniels. The firm has big plans over the next 12 months and beyond and is moving quickly to ensure that the changes in the market over the next few years will continue to enhance the strong growth plans of the firm.”

Peter is recognised across the North West business and legal scene as a leading consultant, lecturing regularly for Central Law Training and Liverpool John Moores University, and playing an active part in his role as trustee of the Manchester-based Feelgood Theatre Productions Ltd.

Headquartered in Stockport, SAS Daniels is organised across five practice groups: corporate, real estate, litigation, employment and private client.
The firm is rated amongst the best in the region by Chambers and the Legal 500 – the two leading client guides to the UK legal profession.
Managing partner at the firm, Nigel Haddon commented: “This appointment is the latest in a string of developments designed to position SAS Daniels to thrive through the challenges ahead. Great firms are based on great people - we are constantly striving to boost our offering to the market and an appointment of Peter’s calibre is a clear marker of this progress.”
