Ms Richards has almost 30 years’ experience of the new homes sector. An Aberdonian educated at St. Margaret’s School for Girls and the University of Aberdeen, she has practised exclusively in the housebuilding sector in senior positions with other prominent Aberdeen firms since qualifying as a lawyer. 

Head of department, Heather Stephen, said: ”We are delighted that Carolyn is joining our team just as the new build market is starting to return to pre-pandemic levels of activity. Her unrivalled experience in this sector will help us to continue to support our local and national clients with the first class service for which we are known.”

Managing partner Callum McDonald added: “Prior to taking up my current role, I worked in the housebuilding sector and I have known and admired Carolyn for many years. She is a very experienced Commercial Property lawyer and a fantastic addition to our team. 

“She will allow us to continue to deliver excellent client service as the house building sector rises to the challenge of meeting the demand for new build housing, as it continues to bounce back from the debilitating effects of the Covid pandemic.”
