Bio
Iain McLean
David was an excellent colleague at Steedman Ramage - we were very disappointed when he left for the streets of gold in London with Clifford Chance but he has gone on to bigger and better things. He is a lawyer who is committed, great to deal with and very knowledgeable in his area.
