Anderson Strathern has hired rural partner Linsey Barclay-Smith from Morton Fraser to join its rural land and business team.
She will work alongside Anne Chapman, department manager of the law firm's rural land and business team, and the department's team of 20.
Its clients include Buccleuch Estate and Crown Estate Scotland.
Barclay-Smith is a board member of the South East Committee of Scottish Land & Estates and also an accredited agricultural law specialist by the Law Society of Scotland.
Before joining from Morton Fraser, she previously worked with Turcan Connell and Thorntons.
Chapman said: “Linsey brings a wealth of experience to our team, technical expertise, strong related contacts and networks in Scotland, across the UK and internationally, and shares our approach to client focus.”
Last month, Anderson Strathern announced a merger with Shetland-based legal firm Neil Risk Solicitor and Estate Agent as part of wider expansion plans.
