}}Semple Fraser LLP was a Scottish commercial law firm, with over 150 staff, including 21 partners, and offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Manchester. It was founded in Glasgow in 1990 and collapsed in 2013.[1]

History

The firm was formed in 1990[2] and began with 20 staff based in an office in Glasgow city centre. The founding partners – Alister Fraser, Paul Haniford, Simon Etchells (now Managing Partner)and Angus MacRae – took advantage of the recession in the property industry in the 1990s to double the space they took and grow the business. The Edinburgh office opened in 1998. The firm became an LLP in June 2004 and a multinational partnership in July 2005.[3] Semple Fraser opened their first English based office, in Manchester, in 2009.[4][5]

According to the legal referral site Legal 500, Semple Fraser's real estate team is a first-tier firm, as is their environment group.[6] Chambers, another legal directory, states that Semple Fraser has "the best EU and UK waste law team in Scotland".[7] Vincent Brown, head of the firm's waste and environment groups, is author of the legal textbook Environmental Pollution Law and Commercial Transactions, which analyses the impact of environmental legislation on commercial transactions.[8]
