Pinsent Masons LLP

Spearheaded by Katharine Hardie, the commercial real estate practice at Pinsent Masons LLP assists international corporations and other blue-chip clients with portfolio acquisitions, transactional support and project developments. Hardie’s broad skillset is compounded by her specific expertise in the private sector, while Russell Munro excels at project development work, most recently contributing towards major proposals in the transport sector. Paul Connolly regularly advises banks and other institutional investors on a variety of transactional matters, while Jennifer Ballantyne is the team’s energy expert. The team is strengthened further with Lesley-Anne Todd, who manages large-scale property portfolios, and David Ross, who is making a name in Scotland’s growing renewable energy market. In 2024, both Ewan Alexander and Rodney Whyte retired, while Martin Devine left the team.
