Susan MacInnes
Susan has had a long career in the law and public sector focussed on property interests.
She was a practising solicitor for over 20 years specialising in both residential and commercial property, including 12 years as Assistant Scottish Solicitor for Nationwide Building Society.
A career change to the civil service provided opportunities for her to use her legal background to drive improvements in government delivery services. Initially based at Registers of Scotland as a Legal Director and part of the Senior Management team, she developed a further specialism in the field of information law and built extensive external connections including acting as General Secretary of the European Land Registry Association.
At the Scottish Government she set up the support services as part of the project creating Revenue Scotland and thereafter was part of the Senior Leadership Team as Head of Commercial Services and Finance for the first two years of its operation. Her final position was as Head of Legal at Crown Estate Scotland, where she initiated the development of a new inhouse legal service.
Outside paid employment she has served as a Community Councillor for over 8 years and is a supporter of the Cockburn Association. She also volunteers with the National Trust for Scotland and the Water of Leith Conservation Trust.
