Macfarlanes has announced that Scott Brodsky will join the firm as a partner in its Commercial practice. Scott joins from Baker & McKenzie and has experience across a wide range of projects work, with particular focus on international Energy and Infrastructure projects.

Jeremy Courtenay-Stamp, head of the Commercial practice at Macfarlanes, comments: "We have known Scott for many years and admired his success in building a world class reputation in international projects work. When we took the strategic decision to develop our projects practice, Scott was our natural first choice to lead that initiative and so are delighted that Scott has agreed to join us."

Charles Martin, Macfarlanes senior partner adds "Scott is a highly talented and energetic projects/infrastructure lawyer with a proven track record who we have known for some time. This area has long been a gap in our practice. Whilst his experience is global, his focus on Africa comes at a time when we are seeing significant client interest in the continent. The fit with other existing practice areas in the firm is also good making this a compelling and exciting opportunity for us."
