Three in Scotland among nine Dentons partner promotions

7th April 2022 | careers

Dentons is promoting three of its lawyers in Scotland to partner, among nine new partners across its UK, Ireland and Middle East region.

Linzi Hedalen in Contentious Construction, Adam Knowles in Corporate, and Owen McLennan in Corporate Funds, all currently senior associates based in the firm’s Edinburgh office, are recognised with advancement, which takes effect from 1 May.

Ms Hedalen specialises in dispute resolution work, with a particular focus on resolving issues arising in high value onshore and offshore construction projects. She joined Dentons in 2010 as a trainee and qualified into the Construction team in 2012.

Mr Knowles advises both public and private companies on a wide range of UK and international corporate and commercial matters. He qualified as a solicitor in September 2009 and joined Dentons in 2016.

Mr McLennan qualified as a solicitor in Scotland in 2010 and joined Dentons in 2014. His experience covers a wide breadth of funds and investment work, with numerous primary and secondary fund structurings and restructurings, co-investments and listing transactions, with particular experience in the private equity sector and fund regulation.

Claire Armstrong, Dentons Scotland managing partner, commented: "I’d like to congratulate our three new partners in Scotland on their well deserved promotions.

"These latest promotions reflect the success of our Senior Development Programme, which helps high performing senior associates bridge the gap to partnership with coaching on inspirational and inclusive leadership, financial management, business development, innovation, legal project management, resilience and wellbeing.

"It’s fantastic to see that the programme has delivered another outstanding group of up-and-coming lawyers to the partnership, especially in a year where we celebrate our 150th anniversary in Scotland."
