Lockton appoints professions consultant

Lockton has appointed Janey Milligan as a consultant to its professions team in Scotland.

Milligan is also managing director of Construction Dispute Resolution.

Lorraine Boyle, managing partner of Lockton in Scotland, said: "The prevailing tough economic conditions in the construction industry are affecting every profession related to it. We are seeing contracts become more adversarial as low margins lead to aggressive claims, and an escalation too in disputes with professional advisers. In this environment, having access to someone with Janey’s breadth and depth of expertise is an enormously valuable resource.”

Milligan said: “The professions team in Lockton are leaders in their field, and I look forward to working closely with them to help develop their businesses further.”
