WRIGHT, Johnston & Mackenzie has become the latest law firm to pick up staff from McClure Naismith.
McClure went into administration last week but around 80 of its employees have already been snapped up or are in negotiations with other firms. Administrators from FRP have made 42 people redundant.
WJM said it was taking Colin Millar, head of the McClure corporate finance team, commercial property partner Stewart King, private client associate Julie Terrey and corporate assistant Stephen Grant.
Separately, Burness Paull has also revealed the identities of the three partners it has taken from the McClure property team.
Steve Scott, Bob Binning and Colin Brown will be bringing across clients including pension funds, Valvona & Crolla, Papa John’s and Sojourn Hotels.
Mr Scott said: "My team and I are very excited about the new possibilities which Burness Paull will bring us. The reaction that we have had from our many clients, as news of our move has reached them, has been uniformly positive and supportive.”
Former McClure staff are also joining Maclay, Murray & Spens, Harper McLeod, Morton Fraser and HBJ Gateley.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
