Anderson Strathern has bolstered its leadership team with the promotion of two new partners and six new directors.
New partners Gary Burton and Robbie Wilson are specialists in the law firm’s healthcare, public and regulatory team.
Burton is recognised for his expertise in personal injury actions and heads the firm’s catastrophic personal injury unit, while Wilson leads the medical negligence unit, which has a multi-million-pound caseload across birth injury, misdiagnosis and fatal claims.
The firm's chair Bruce Farquhar said: “Medical negligence cases are particularly key for the firm because the cross-referral opportunities drive performance and growth in other departments, such as trust work for the private client team and investment advice for our asset management services.”
A further six lawyers have been promoted to directors: Elizabeth MacGregor (commercial property/rural land and business), Tom Docherty and Gillian Murray (dispute resolution), Robin Turnbull, (employment, immigration and pensions), Karen Craig (rural land and business) and Fiona Savage (commercial property).
Earlier in the summer, Anderson Strathern hired Tom McEntegart as a partner in its Glasgow office, in an attempt to boost the firm’s small business and commercial client offering across Scotland.
Last April, the firm announced a merger with Shetland-based Neil Risk Solicitor and Estate Agents.
