Building on existing talent

Morton Fraser, a Scottish independent law firm, has promoted commercial property expert Amar Wali to Partner within its Housebuilding and Commercial Real Estate team. Amar’s appointment means four partners now lead its burgeoning Housebuilding team and follows upon the team having secured a number of new client wins over the last 12 months.

The appointment is part of Morton Fraser’s ongoing ‘talent first’ approach to championing its existing staff.

Morton Fraser’s Commercial Real Estate team has seen 40% revenue growth over the last three years.

Chris Harte, Chief Executive at Morton Fraser, said: ‘Since joining last summer, Amar has brought a great deal of ambition to our growing team. As well as his individual strength in the field, Amar’s promotion is fantastic recognition of the confidence we have in our wider housebuilding and commercial real estate sector expertise.’
