Burness Paull hires David Stewart as partner

Burness Paull has unveiled its latest partner hire in the form of real estate lawyer David Stewart.

Mr Stewart, who joins from Morton Fraser, brings more than 20 years of experience, with a particularly strong background in investment and development deals.

Scott Peterkin, head of Real Estate at Burness Paull, commented: “The real estate industry has shown remarkable resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges in recent years, and we continue to see a strong flow of instructions from across our client base.

“David is a great hire for the firm, with considerable experience in key growth areas of the market where we are seeing opportunities and clients are increasingly seeking our advice – such as the build-to-rent and purpose-built student accommodation sectors.”
