Head of UK Real Estate Construction
Iain Suttie

Iain Suttie specialises in advising on the procurement and risk-structuring of complex construction and engineering projects in the UK and internationally.

Iain has a particular focus on advising developers and lenders on major mixed use urban regeneration, office and logistics projects in the UK. He also has extensive experience of advising sponsors on infrastructure projects (including road and rail) and sponsors and lenders on power transmission projects and process plants in sectors including water and pulp, within the UK and elsewhere.

Iain advises developers/sponsors and lenders on matters including:

  • Major urban regeneration projects in London delivered on a multi-phase basis. These are often housing-led, with complex stakeholder interfaces (e.g. in relation to transport) and the need for site-wide utility networks.
  • Office tower projects in the City and Canary Wharf, including new build and major refurbishment. These are often delivered as part of a joint venture and working with development managers.
  • Electricity interconnector projects in Europe.
  • Major new heavy rail projects in the UK.
