Fiona Cameron

Ms Cameron, who joins the firm from Shoosmiths, has a focus on real estate finance among a broad finance practice, which includes corporate and general banking work as well as asset-based lending and restructuring. She works closely with traditional lenders, including the main high street banks, as well as alternative lenders who have entered the market.

Ahead of her arrival, the firm has also appointed Pamela McHarg as a legal director in the team, joining from Hogan Lovells.

Ms Cameron said: “Addleshaw Goddard has such a strong banking and corporate presence across the country and an enviable client list in Scotland and beyond. 

“The firm’s growth has been impressive to watch from the outside and I’m excited to be part of the firm’s clear ambitions in Glasgow. Addleshaw Goddard has a formidable brand and position in the Scottish profession and I look forward to helping to grow the practice in the city and continuing to increase our share of the market.” 

Addleshaw Goddard, which has three Scottish offices among its network of 21 offices worldwide, has almost 100 people in Glasgow who will move to new premises in 155 St Vincent Street, an iconic building in the heart of Glasgow city centre.

The firm is also set to move in Edinburgh in the first half of 2026, taking 30,000 sq ft in one of the best buildings in the city at 24 St Andrew Square.

Alan Shanks, head of Scotland at Addleshaw Goddard, said: “It’s great to welcome Fiona to our team. We already have strong Finance team in Scotland and it’s fantastic to capitalise on this and our new office to build a high quality and experienced team in Glasgow, who will be able to maximise local market opportunities and add further bench strength to our national teams.

“We are intent on recruiting and retaining talented lawyers and Fiona and Pamela are just the first is a series of new arrivals we expect in Glasgow, and indeed in Edinburgh and Aberdeen. It’s a very exciting time to be part of Addleshaw Goddard as we use our brand, reputation and new homes to enhance the services we provide nationally and internationally for our clients.”
