Ms Cassidy joins the projects, infrastructure and construction team as a partner in Glasgow, bringing transactional construction experience and attracting clients to the firm in line with its strategic growth plan. She previously worked at Pinsent Masons for almost 12 years.

Mr Spence joins the Edinburgh team as a real estate partner. He is an established name in the market and was previously head of real estate in Scotland at Womble Bond Dickinson.

John Paul Sheridan, partner and location head for TLT in Scotland, said: “Establishing a construction offering in Scotland has long been a priority of mine. It is a key step towards us becoming a full service law firm in Scotland. I am also really pleased to see the continued growth of our real estate team, which is attracting leading talent and Michael is no exception.

“Stacey and Michael’s appointments are key to our performance now and in the long-term. We were delighted when they agreed to join TLT and are pleased to finally have them on board.”

Ms Cassidy said: “This is a really exciting time to be joining TLT. It’s been growing rapidly in recent years, has a great heritage and is filled with hunger and ambition. They’re a really dynamic team and I’m looking forward to contributing to our success.”

Mr Spence added: “I am really looking forward to working with the energetic group at TLT and helping to sustain their growth in all areas. I really believe that there is great scope for making a big impact and expanding the TLT profile even further across Scotland in the coming years.”
