McGrigor Donald has taken two partners from Scottish rival Biggart Baillie as part of a bid to strengthen its Edinburgh office.

Highly-rated banking lawyer Colin McKay will head McGrigors' firm-wide projects and banking team, while corporate and IT specialist Wayne Laurence will join the corporate unit.

The move is part of a concerted effort by McGrigors to bolster its 18-partner Edinburgh office.
Two months ago the firm took two partners, IP lawyer Hannah Sutter and private finance initiative (PFI) specialist Phil Myerscough, from another Edinburgh practice, Henderson Boyd Jackson.
