SCOTTISH law firm Anderson Strathern has appointed a new partner to bolster its team of commercial property specialists in what is expected to be a busy year.
Dawn MacPherson, who will be based in Edinburgh, joins the firm’s English commercial property team, led by Iain Grieve.
Over the past few years, the firm said demand has grown for its specialisms in commercial real estate. Recent projects have included acting for: Karl Lagerfeld and its Regent Street flagship London store; Crown Estate Scotland real estate investment acquisitions; and energy work such as the UK’s first consumer owned wind and solar projects.
Dawn MacPherson, who is dual qualified in Scots and English law, brings more than 15 years of experience to Anderson Strathern, having specialised in commercial leasing and complex high value sales and purchases, in sectors such as retail, energy, logistics, hotels, investment, and finance.
She said, “Anderson Strathern’s commercial real estate team is highly regarded and I’m excited to be working alongside colleagues with such a fantastic reputation in Scotland and beyond. As we start 2026 the consensus from agents and clients is cautious optimism. A more stable operating environment is expected globally, with easing trade concerns and positive economic growth forecasts across most major markets.”
The appointment strengthens Anderson Strathern’s commercial real estate team – led by Anne McGregor – which comprises 40 commercial property specialists.
Fraser Geddes, chair of Anderson Strathern, added, “Dawn is a fantastic addition to the firm and brings her own unique experience and skillset to an already strong commercial real estate team. I’m looking forward to our continued growth in this sector, delivering unrivalled services to our clients.”
