Joining from Brodies, Mr Campbell’s practice focuses on working with investors in the acquisition, management and disposal of properties in the retail, leisure, office, industrial and alternative market sectors. He also represents corporate occupiers and leisure operators with a particular focus on commercial leasing.

UK head of real estate, William Naunton, said: “Finlay’s practice complements our offering and will allow him to contribute to the continued growth of our Scottish real estate practice, as well as creating opportunities across the UK and beyond. He is a welcome addition to the practice as we continue to build on our prominence in the market.”

Mr Campbell added: “The opportunity to work with such a well-established, experienced, global, real estate team was one of the main factors in me joining DLA Piper. I am particularly looking forward to helping our commercial and corporate clients manage their property portfolios, locally and internationally.”
