Dundas & Wilson, the Big Four Scottish law firm, yesterday announced the promotion of six senior associates to partner, taking the total number of UK partners to more than 80.
Three are based in Glasgow. They include Carina Healy, an intellectual property lawyer who leads the life sciences team. Her responsibilities include further developing Dundas's growth in IP work in this and other key industries.
Insolvency specialist Claire Massie, meanwhile, will target growth areas for Dundas's corporate recovery team across the UK as well as nurturing existing business relationships.
In real estate, Darina Kerr will be tasked with boosting the property team's presence across the UK.
In London, Nadim Meer focuses on private equity and merger and acquisition work. Ross Caldwell, who is relocating to London from Edinburgh, is a corporate banking specialist.
In Edinburgh, Trudi Craggs is a specialist in Dundas's multi-disciplinary planning team. She will continue to advise public and private sector clients on the authorisation processes for major, complex projects.
Michael McAuley, chairman of Dundas, said: "These six internal promotions highlight the calibre of the people we have within D&W across the UK. They demonstrate the firm's commitment, and these individuals' commitment and contribution, to growing our business across the UK in a focused and consistent way.
"In addition to the seven lateral partner hires we have made within the past 12 months, these appointments now bring our total number of partners in the UK to 83."
The appointments take effect on May 1.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
