The transport and infrastructure specialist who spent two decades at Biggart Baillie, has joined the firm from Curle Stewart, where he has been a consultant since last year. The Glasgow Herald reported that he said his experience at the chamber, which will see him join a trade delegation to China next week, gave him a ‘different perspective to most other lawyers’. He said: ‘My work at the chamber helps me get an understanding of where clients are coming from…You’ve got to understand what clients are trying to achieve.’

New approach

Murray McCall, Anderson Strathern Managing Partner explained that the new approach of having a firm-wide role was part of developing business across the firm and not in one specific area. Mr Amner also chairs the Scottish Chambers of Commerce’s economic advisory group and has experience across commercial property, corporate law and litigation.
