New partner announcement

  • Glasgow hire strengthens Construction and Special Projects team

Leading UK law firm Shepherd and Wedderburn has appointed Juliet Haldane as Partner, advising clients in the successful construction and special projects division.  Juliet will be based in the firm’s Glasgow office from 16 July 2007.

Joining from Scots rival D&W, Juliet’s dealmaking talent and outstanding practice work earned her a mention in the most recent Chambers as an up-and-coming ‘go-getter’. 

Her experience in schools PPP particularly complements the Shepherd and Wedderburn projects team’s experience.  The Shepherd and Wedderburn team has acted in £344 million of capital education projects over the last year.  These include: 

  • Schools PPP Project for City of Edinburgh Council, with a capital value of £180 million
  • Dundee City Council Schools PPP Project, with a capital value of almost £90 million, for eight new schools in the city over a 30 year term
  • £74 million Scottish Borders Council Education project was completed, to deliver three new schools in the Borders area over a 30 year period
Patrick Andrews, chief executive of Shepherd and Wedderburn, commented: “We are delighted that Juliet is joining the construction and special projects team and this will strengthen our capabilities even further.  Juliet's experience will help us meet growing client demand for this burgeoning area of the practice.”
