Commercial real estate specialist Alan Stewart has joined independent Scottish firm Morton Fraser as a partner.

Alan makes his move after a year and a half as a partner with Dentons, before which he spent nearly 15 years with Maclay Murray & Spens LLP. He joins Morton Fraser’s Edinburgh office with more than 20 years of experience in real estate law.

Michael Ramsay, divisional manager of the commercial real estate team, said: ‘Alan is a high-profile real estate lawyer in the Scottish market, with a wide range of connections across Scottish business. He will be a great addition to the team, and brings particular expertise in investment and development projects. Attracting such a talented and experienced lawyer will help us in our goal to become the go-to firm for partner-led, sophisticated commercial real estate advice in Scotland.’

Alan added: ‘Morton Fraser is a successful and independent Scottish law firm with a clear business strategy being delivered by a proven and talented management team. Its commercial real estate team is at the heart of the firm’s growth plans and I am delighted to be joining such a progressive and ambitious firm at an exciting stage in its development.’
