Alan McLean has acquired a broad experience and practice in civil law in his almost thirty years at the Scottish bar, particularly in the fields of reparation and damages, professional negligence (with a focus on clinical negligence), construction law and property cases. Although he has specialised in these areas, his wide-ranging civil practice has included work in fields as disparate as intellectual property, benefits law, agricultural law and football arbitration.

He has also assisted in arbitrations and adjudications, and has been instructed as a legal assessor to an adjudicator and as an expert witness in Scots law.
