Hugo Plowman, Chair of the Dispute Resolution department, expressed enthusiasm about Millar joining the team, stating, “We are delighted to welcome Sam to the team. He brings extensive expertise in commercial disputes, arbitration and investigations. His appointment builds on a series of recent partner appointments to our Disputes team across London, Hong Kong and the UAE. Sam will be a valuable addition to the firm.”
