MacRoberts promotes two to partnership

MacRoberts has announced two partnership promotions in its real estate and projects divisions.

David McGuire has been with MacRoberts for 16 years and was a legal director within the real estate group. He has considerable experience in commercial property, with a particular focus on renewable energy developments as well as a great deal of experience in hotel and commercial developments.

He said: “I am honoured to be a partner in MacRoberts, delighted to be joining an exceptional partner team, and fully intend to continue to uphold the firm’s guiding principles, and to develop and expand my practice in the energy sector.”

Robin Fallas has been with the firm for 10 years and was a senior associate in the projects group. He specialises in advising on public and third sector matters and is recognised in Chambers UK and Legal 500 for his expertise in charities and procurement law.

He said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed partner and look forward to continuing to grow the strength and breadth of our public sector and charities teams. During my time at MacRoberts, working with the variety of people who make up the firm, has been extremely enjoyable, and I look forward to that continuing.”

It comes on the same day that new managing partner, Neil Kennedy, officially takes over the reign from John Macmillan who returns to his role as a partner in the firm’s employment team.

Mr Kennedy said: “I am delighted to welcome David and Robin to the partnership, they have both shown great commitment to the firm over the years and both positions are richly deserved.”
