Gillespie Macandrew LLP’s ‘experienced and well-rounded team’ is led by the ’exemplary’ Robert Scott-Dempster, working heavily in mixed-estate sales and acquisitions. Noted for its wide roster of major Scottish estates, the team is frequently instructed to handle complex agricultural lettings, renewable energy development projects, and contentious lease-related matters. Fraser Leslie is a key contact in the team for onshore renewables, while Alan White focuses on farming-related matters. Lois Newton and Lorna Balfour are further names to note, handling matters concerning crofting law and related tax planning issues. Lizzie McFadzean joined from Anderson Beaton Lamond in January 2024.
