Morton Fraser adds partner in Glasgow

Scottish firm Morton Fraser has boosted its Glasgow office with the hire of Burness corporate partner Gordon McKelvie.

McKelvie, who joins the firm after six years as a Burness partner, is Morton Fraser's first corporate-focused partner and his hire marks a significant push for the firm in the city.

Susan Younger, divisional manager of Morton Fraser's corporate team, said: "It's key to our strategy that we develop a good corporate presence in Glasgow and we're pleased to have attracted such a high-profile partner. We're already putting people through from our Edinburgh office to support him."

Prior to joining Burness McKelvie spent four years as a partner at Scottish firm Biggart Baillie. Before that he was legal director and company secretary at Burn Stewart Distillers, the producer of whiskies such as Tobermory.
