British Legal Awards win for MacRoberts

Scottish legal firm MacRoberts’ real estate team has been named Property Team of the Year at the 2018 British Legal Awards.

MacRoberts was the only Scottish-based firm to be shortlisted at the 2018 awards, which took place in London last night, and was up against competition from city firms Clifford Chance, CMS, Herbert Smith Freehills and Hogan Lovells.

Over the year the Real Estate team has worked on a wide variety of high-profile projects across Scotland and the UK for clients including major corporations, retail and luxury brands, SMEs and public and third sector bodies.

Neil Kennedy, managing partner commented: "As an independent Scottish law firm, to be recognised at this level is an outstanding achievement. We are immensely proud of our real estate team and this award is testament to the high quality clients, projects and talent that we have at MacRoberts.”

MacRoberts' Commercial team was highly commended at the awards in 2016, and shortlisted again last year.

Also last night, MacRoberts' senior solicitor in construction, Rebecca Barrass, was named Junior Lawyer of the Year at the Law Awards of Scotland.
