Addleshaw Goddard London disputes partner Clarissa Coleman has resigned to join K&L Gates

Coleman's departure follows the exits of four London disputes partners from Addleshaws during 2016.

Last month, head of civil fraud Mark Hastings resigned to join Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, with disputes partner Kambiz Larizadeh quitting for Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld.

Disputes partner and insurance head Mark Pring left to join Reed Smith in May, while in February, disputes partner Sonia Campbell left for Mishcon de Reya where she was reunited with former Addleshaws insurance litigation head Richard Leedham.

Coleman has been a partner at Addleshaws since 2011, after joining from Consensus Business Group (CBG), the real estate vehicle of entrepreneur Vincent Tchenguiz. While at CBG, she advised on the failed Serious Fraud Office investigation into Tchenguiz's dealings with Icelandic bank Kaupthing.

She trained and qualified at Clifford Chance, where she stayed until 2009. She is a qualified solicitor-advocate with full rights of audience in the higher courts of England and Wales.

In recent weeks, Addleshaws has picked up four partners from King & Wood Mallesons' disintegrating European arm, including three in real estate and one in construction.
