Prominent UK law firm, Brodies LLP, has strengthened its real estate practice with the appointment of Andy Tyler as a partner. Andy previously worked in Brodies' top-ranked real estate practice and rejoins from his previous firm, where he headed up the real estate team in Edinburgh.

Andy has built a broad real estate practice advising developers, investors, funders and occupiers across a range of sectors. He is particularly recognised for his work in the living sector, including purpose-built student accommodation, and advises clients in the life sciences, healthcare, logistics and light industrial, hospitality and leisure, and corporate occupier markets.

He has extensive experience advising on development projects and supporting clients throughout the full development lifecycle, from site acquisition and funding through to asset management and disposal. Andy is also a member of Real Estate: Scotland’s Purpose Built Student Accommodation Working Group.

His appointment reflects Brodies' continued investment in its market-leading real estate practice and the growing demand for specialist advice across a range of asset classes and sectors, particularly living and life sciences.

Stephen Goldie, managing partner at Brodies, said:

"Andy brings extensive experience advising clients across many sectors of strategic importance. He will augment our real estate practice in these areas and add his skills to servicing the many clients we support. His expertise in development work, combined with his strong track record in the living sector, will add further strength and depth to the firm. We are delighted to welcome him back to the firm and look forward to the contribution he will make as we continue to grow our real estate practice."

Andy Tyler said:

"I am delighted to be returning to Brodies and to be joining the partnership. Having worked here earlier in my career, I know the strength of the real estate team, the quality of its people and the firm's collaborative approach to client service. The real estate market continues to evolve, particularly in sectors such as living, life sciences and healthcare, creating significant opportunities for clients and their projects. I look forward to working with colleagues across the firm and contributing to the continued success of the practice."
