Partner promotion at Morton Fraser

Morton Fraser has promoted commercial property solicitor Amar Wali to partner in its Housebuilding & Commercial Real Estate team.

Mr Wali, who joined the firm in the summer of 2018, becomes the fourth current partner in the team, which has secured a number of new client wins over the last 12 months and 40% revenue growth over the past three years.

Morton Fraser said the appointment was part of its "talent first" approach to championing its existing staff.

Chief executive Chris Harte commented: "Since joining last summer, Amar has brought a great deal of ambition to our growing team. As well as his individual strength in the field, Amar’s promotion is fantastic recognition of the confidence we have in our wider housebuilding and commercial real estate sector expertise."
