Yule engineers Weightmans move
Law firm Weightmans has appointed construction lawyer Ian Yule to head up its construction and engineering division in the Midlands.
Yule will be based in the firm’s Birmingham office. He has more than 20 years’ experience in construction law.
He has held the position of partner at three law firms including Wragge & Co, where he was partner for almost ten years.
In his previous roles, Yule advised organisations in the health, education, and transport sectors on issues such as framework agreements and recently advised a main contractor on various process plant and waste to energy projects.
At Weightmans, Yule's client base will include contractors, local authorities, developers and specialist subcontractors and suppliers.
Yule said: "Weightmans has a great reputation for providing quality advice across its three business lines of insurance, public sector work and commercial law.
"The prospect of building the firm’s construction presence in the Midlands is an exciting one – I look forward to developing the practice area in a region I know so well."
