Partner joins banking & asset finance team

Morton Fraser has appointed Ross Caldwell as partner to its banking & asset finance team.

Caldwell officially joins Morton Fraser in May from Taylor Wessing, where he specialised in advising lenders, borrowers and sponsors in complex financing transactions. He has worked as a partner in London for the past 10 years and will be responsible for cultivating the firm’s relationships there as well as adding further strength to Morton Fraser's top-ranked finance practice.

Chris Harte, chief executive of Morton Fraser, said: “Attracting someone of Ross’ calibre to Morton Fraser is fantastic news for the team and demonstrates the strength of the firm’s growing reputation. Ross will not only bring a wealth of experience to the role but will also strengthen our links with the City of London.”

Ross added: “Complex transactions involve a wide range of financial institutions and structures and are frequently international. Understanding how to innovate and manage the component parts is increasingly important and is something Morton Fraser intrinsically understands as one of Scotland's largest dedicated finance and asset-based lending practices.

“Morton Fraser is a highly reputable and ambitious partnership, whose commitment to clarity sets it apart. It will be great to join the team."
