Capital projects expert returns to MMS

Commercial law firm Maclay Murray & Spens has added to its capital projects team with the return of a specialist who worked with the firm before moving abroad.

Stewart Maciver, who joins as a partner, first came to MMS as an assistant solicitor in 2002 and left, as an associate, in 2006 to work with the projects division of a leading Australian law firm in Melbourne. On returning to the UK he spent a number of years with Dundas & Wilson/CMS, from where he has returned to MMS.

Mr Maciver has advised on a number of prominent PFI/PPP/NPD and hub procurements for public authorities, project consortia and funding institutions. He also has significant experience in transportation, waste, water, energy and outsourcing matters.

Kenneth Shand, chief executive of MMS, commented: “I am pleased to welcome Stewart back to the firm. His hire reflects the growing importance of capital projects and instructions relating to project financing, and our commitment to building the strongest possible team in that area of law.”
