Davidson Chalmers recruits construction head

Edinburgh-based commercial law firm Davidson Chalmers has announced the appointment of Simone Young as its new head of construction.

Ms Young, who joins from Lindsays, specialises in all aspects of non-contentious construction law and regularly advises clients on both standard form and bespoke construction contracts. She has worked with a wide range of organisations including Edinburgh University, Heriot-Watt University, Scottish Historic Buildings Trust and Scottish Youth Hostel Association.

She will be able to add another dimension to the services we offer to our clients. This is an exciting time for Davidson Chalmers, with a number of significant new client wins and the ongoing recruitment of new fee earners and staff across the firm.”
