Edinburgh partner hire for Eversheds Sutherland

Eversheds Sutherland has added to its renewables and real estate offering in Scotland with the lateral hire of partner Alan Cook.

Mr Cook, who is dual qualified in Scotland and England & Wales, joins the global law firm from Pinsent Masons, where he acted for major energy and real estate clients. 

His UK-wide practice has covered multiple wind farm projects, both onshore and offshore, together with solar and other technologies, including the arrangements for port and harbour facilities to support a number of offshore wind projects around the UK.

Mr Cook's appointment follows Eversheds Sutherland’s move into its new Edinburgh offices in the Capital Square building in the heart of Edinburgh’s Exchange district.

Euan Smith, senior office partner, Eversheds Sutherland, commented: "Alan’s in-depth experience and sector knowledge makes him a key hire for our practice. I am delighted to welcome him to Eversheds Sutherland. His knowledge will give invaluable support to clients with their plans for investing in renewables and real estate. We all very much look forward to working with him and helping Scottish and UK businesses to expand domestically and overseas."
