We are pleased to announce that Nicholas Hufton with over 25 years’ expe­ri­ence, has join­ed Swaab as a Spe­cial Coun­sel in our Stra­ta and Prop­er­ty, Plan­ning & Projects team. This is a sig­nif­i­cant appoint­ment for the firm as client demand for Stra­ta and Prop­er­ty ser­vices con­tin­ue to grow.

“As we con­tin­ue to grow, this appoint­ment comes at an excit­ing time for Swaab’s Stra­ta and Prop­er­ty, Plan­ning & Projects team. Nicholas’ appoint­ment serves to bol­ster our already impres­sive stra­ta, prop­er­ty and con­struc­tion capa­bil­i­ties. This strate­gic appoint­ment builds on our strong focus on cul­ture, well­be­ing and client ser­vice. I wish to for­mal­ly wel­come Nicholas to Swaab and I look for­ward to our ever-grow­ing suc­cess”, said Mary Digiglio, Man­ag­ing Part­ner Swaab.

“I am very excit­ed to be join­ing Swaab and to be work­ing along side Helen Kow­al. The team’s exper­tise in the prop­er­ty con­struc­tion and stra­ta sec­tor is high­ly sought after”, said Nicholas Hufton.
