Independent law firm Muckle LLP has strengthened its construction team with a couple of key appointments.

Specialist Adam Aston has been promoted to partner after 13 years with the company, where he has advised on a diverse range of regional, national and international construction and engineering projects, as well as regularly running legal workshops and presenting legal updates to the construction industry.

Solicitor Sophie Crosby has also joined the team.

Lucilla Waugh, partner and head of the construction and engineering team, said: "We are delighted to announce these two appointments. Adam is an exceptionally talented commercial lawyer, greatly valued by our clients for his can-do attitude, technical skills and client service. He has a detailed understanding of the risk profile and market positions on the wide range of construction and engineering contracts and acts for all levels of the design and construction supply chain; employers, developers, contractors, consultants and sub-contractors.

"Sophie brings additional experience and perspective to our team. We make a point of recruiting people who have something different about them, whether it is sector knowledge, extra skills or a different approach to service delivery, all of which Sophie has."
