Brian Boyd has joined Scotland Wright Associates (SWA) as the Atlanta-based firm’s newest partner. Boyd has 15 years of experience managing complex real estate transactions and delivering proven results for major companies. Boyd’s financial sophistication and acumen position the boutique tenant representation firm for an even stronger future. 

Boyd comes to SWA from Savills, where he served as managing director for three years. Prior to that, he worked at Cushman Wakefield as vice president. In the last five years, Boyd has negotiated three corporate office headquarter transactions, each over 100,000 in total rentable square footage.

Boyd’s specialized services include lease negotiation, financial structuring, transaction management and strategic planning. Boyd has completed more than 5 million square feet in real estate transactions throughout his career.

“Brian has worked on some of the largest and highest-profile transactions in Atlanta,” said Michael Tucker, managing partner, SWA. “His extensive knowledge of financial structuring, unique approach to transactions and keen ability to both set and execute a strategic vision give us an edge in the Atlanta market and beyond. With Brian in the mix, we have one of the most talented teams in the Southeast.” 

“The challenges and growth opportunities ahead are exciting and motivating to me,” said Boyd. “I am thrilled to tackle them alongside a team I deeply respect. As an independent, conflict-free firm, Scotland Wright Associates delivers a best-in-class experience, serving clients as a true partner for the long term.” 

With the addition of Boyd, SWA continues to solidify itself as one of the top tenant rep teams in the city and is poised for continued growth despite market uncertainty. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, Boyd’s expertise equips SWA to serve clients through the unique restructuring opportunities that are likely to arise.

“Not only does Brian have the skills and experience to take our firm to the next level, his character and integrity are a perfect fit for our team,” said Scotland Wright, president and founder of SWA. “What differentiates Scotland Wright Associates from other firms is the cohesion of our team. We operate as a single unit to achieve the absolute best outcomes for our clients. Brian embraces and epitomizes that model, which bodes well for the trajectory of our firm.”
