DWF continues expansion with double hire for Glasgow office

DWF has appointed litigation partner Ricky Cannon and hired associate Neale Tosh to its Glasgow office as the firm looks to strengthen its debt recovery and finance litigation services in Scotland. Both join from Brodies where they specialised in business disputes and asset recovery.

With more than 16 years’ experience, Mr Cannon’s practice focuses on a wide range of litigation including commercial litigation, finance litigation, debt recovery and insolvency.

He has a particular interest and focus on motor and finance litigation and will work closely with national head of finance litigation John Perez on developing the practice into a market leading finance litigation offering across the UK and secure a larger proportion of the finance litigation market nationwide.

Mr Perez said: “With Ricky’s legal expertise, commercially-focused approach and leadership skills, he will make a strong addition to the team. His appointment will play a vital part in our continued expansion of the litigation practice both in Scotland, Northern Ireland and throughout the UK. Ricky is somebody I have known and worked closely with for a long time and I’m absolutely delighted he and Neale are joining our growing team.”
