DLA Piper appoints Edinburgh construction director

Global law firm DLA Piper has appointed Ross Campbell as a legal director in its Construction & Engineering practice in Edinburgh.

Mr Campbell, who joins from Eversheds Sutherland, has over 20 years' experience of energy, infrastructure and real estate development projects, including his leading on many projects procured under PFI/PPP and DBFO schemes. 

DLA Piper has added two partners and six lawyers to its UK Construction group this summer, and its latest hire is part of the strategic growth of its real estate practice in Scotland.

Stephen Malley, the firm's UK head of construction, commented: "Ross is an exciting hire for the team, both strengthening the Scotland practice's offering and expanding our existing 50 strong UK Construction team supporting clients on projects at home and abroad."
