Ms Burrow, an academic lawyer and winner of the 2013 Cloch Prize for Intellectual Property in the Digital Economy at the University of Glasgow, started with the boutique corporate practice in June 2014 after private practice experience and has made a significant contribution to the firm’s growing commercial property expertise.
