Scottish law firm, Davidson Chalmers Stewart, has promoted its head of construction, Simone Young, who becomes the practice’s 13th partner.
Young is a non-contentious construction law specialist with extensive experience acting for a variety of high-profile clients across the sector.
She advises clients on procurement matters, negotiating all forms of construction contracts, and is supported by her real estate, planning and renewable energy colleagues at the Edinburgh office.
Young recently delivered construction contracts on behalf of Tartan Leisure Limited for the Lost Shore Surf Resort, a world-class development set to open later this year near Edinburgh Airport.
Other clients include the Chris Stewart Group, Muir Group, Shetland Space Centre Limited, and student accommodation provider VITA Group.
Managing partner, Laura Irvine, said: “I’m delighted to announce Simone’s promotion which, for the first time, marks a female majority across the firm’s group of partners.
“Since joining the firm as our head of construction nine years ago, she has continued to develop her reputation and is now regarded as one of the most experienced and respected legal advisers in the construction sector.
“I look forward to seeing Simone continue to drive the growth of our construction sector practice across Scotland.”
Young added: “I’m very pleased to become Davidson Chalmers Stewart’s newest partner. I am eager to continue supporting our existing construction sector clients and to welcoming new clients on board as we expand this key practice area.”
