Law firm Weightmans has appointed Cassandra Auld as partner in the real estate team in Glasgow.

Formerly a senior associate at Pinsent Masons where she managed a team of five, Ms Auld has a wealth of experience in commercial property transactions, working for public and private sector clients across a number of sectors, with a particular interest in hotels, retail and leisure and healthcare industries.

Partner and head of real estate Scotland Bryan Finlayson said: “She has proven ability to manage and deliver complex, high value and technically challenging real estate transactions whilst maintaining an outstanding commitment to clients. She is a highly valuable addition to the team.” 

The real estate team in Scotland is also due to welcome a newly-qualified solicitor this month, bringing the team to six. The firm opened its Glasgow office in 2013 after the acquisition of part of Semple Fraser.
