Member News: Aberdein Considine expands Private Client team with associate appointment in Glasgow
Alasdair Fraser joins award-winning law firm as Private Client Associate
Law firm Aberdein Considine has strengthened its Legal 500-recommended Private Client team with the appointment of Alasdair Fraser as an Associate in the firm’s busy Glasgow office.
Alasdair brings valuable experience across the full spectrum of Private Client work, including wills, powers of attorney, estate administration and tax and succession planning.
Having qualified as a solicitor in 2021, he began his career at a high-street firm in his hometown of Ayr before moving to larger, city-based firms, including McClures Solicitors, which was subsequently acquired by Jones Whyte, then Gilson Gray and later Mitchells Roberton, granting him a broad and well-rounded expertise in complex Private Client matters.
Alasdair gained his Bachelor of Laws degree and Diploma from Strathclyde University, where he now supports the development of the next generation of solicitors as a Private Client Tutor on the university’s Diploma programme. He was also awarded a Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) Diploma, a globally recognised qualification for professionals working in the field of trusts and estates, in 2024.
On joining Aberdein Considine as Private Client Associate, Alasdair Fraser said: “I was attracted to Aberdein Considine as a firm as it has an excellent reputation, and I am honoured to be joining a team of such highly competent and experienced professionals. I pride myself on being a reassuring presence for clients, assisting them in what can be a challenging time of their lives, and that will be no different as I step into this new role.”
Outside of the law, Alasdair is an avid hiker and runner, having completed several marathons and ultramarathons, including the London Marathon in 2019 and the Tiree Ultramarathon in 2024.
He continued: “I recently crossed the ‘halfway point’ of bagging Munros, completing 150 with only 132 to go. A highlight was scaling a round of the Fisherfields, which involved five Munros and a Corbett, taking around 15 hours in total. Through this, I know a thing or two about going the extra mile, and I’m very much looking forward to applying this mindset to my client work at Aberdein Considine.”
Alasdair joins Aberdein Considine at an exciting time for the firm’s Private Client team, as Aileen Entwistle, Partner and the firm’s Head of Private Client for Glasgow, was recently named Solicitor of the Year at The Herald Law Awards of Scotland 2025.
Aileen welcomed Alasdair to the firm, saying: “Having Alasdair join our team will strengthen our Private Client offering, not just in our Glasgow office but across the firm. His experience will bring valuable insight and depth to our team, enhancing our ability to deliver exceptional service to clients throughout Scotland.”
In addition to taking home the Solicitor of the Year Award, Aberdein Considine also retained its Debt Recovery Team of the Year title at last week’s Herald Law Awards ceremony.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
