Shakespeare Martineau has expanded its Scotland practice with the appointment of solicitor Fergus Spowart to the litigation team and the qualification of Fin Campbell into the commercial real estate team. The moves reflect the firm’s continued investment in its Edinburgh office, which now spans multiple disciplines including energy, healthcare, corporate and data protection.
Fergus (pictured, right), who qualified in June 2025 after completing his traineeship at a local firm, said: ‘I was drawn to Shakespeare Martineau’s ambitious and forward-thinking approach… I’m looking forward to contributing to the continued growth of the team.’ He joins the dispute resolution team at a time of rapid expansion for the firm’s Scottish offering.
Fin (left) began his journey with the firm as a paralegal in 2023 before starting his training contract later that year. Now qualified, he said: ‘From day one I’ve had the chance to work alongside talented colleagues… I’m excited to take the next step in my career.’ His qualification highlights the firm’s commitment to nurturing homegrown talent.
Fiona Pask, head of Scotland, commented: ‘We’re thrilled to welcome Fergus and celebrate Fin’s qualification… their energy, skill and commitment will be instrumental as we continue to grow our practice.’ The appointments mark another milestone in Shakespeare Martineau’s strategic growth north of the border.
