It marks a return to the firm for Mr McCraw who began his legal career there as a legal and property assistant before embarking on his traineeship at Burness Paull, where he built experience in general commercial property work. Since qualifying, much of his focus has been on complex property aspects relating to renewable energy projects, further enhancing his expertise in commercial property work.

He also carried out a six-month secondment with Sony Interactive Entertainment (PlayStation) in London, gaining in-house experience across a number of areas, including corporate and commercial operations.

“The commercial and corporate division is an area of strong growth for us, and we already service a high volume of work in this sector”, said Alex Hutcheon + Co director Adrian Hutcheon. “Tyler brings with him a strong grounding and an approach that complements the firm’s ethos and having previously worked with us, is well placed to hit the ground running.”

Mr McCraw said: “I’m delighted to be returning to Alex Hutcheon + Co in this role of director. Having started my legal career here, the firm has always held a special place for me, and it is particularly rewarding to come back and now contribute at a senior level.

“The company has an ambitious growth strategy and clear vision for the future, which makes this a hugely exciting opportunity and time to be rejoining. I’m looking forward to working closely with colleagues to build on strong foundations, support our clients, and help drive the next phase of the firm’s growth and success.”
