Anderson Strathern appoints private client consultant

Legal firm Anderson Strathern has appointed Sarah McKinlay as a consultant to its private client team.

Joining from the former HBJ Gateley, now Addleshaw Goddard, Ms McKinlay has more than 20 years of expertise in the sector, with a particular focus on high net worth clients and executries. She also specialises in succession planning and working with business owners and their families.

Her appointment follows the recent announcement of dual-qualified partner Carole Tomlinson as the first woman to head the private client team.

Ms Tomlinson, commented:  "Sarah’s experience and expertise is a perfect fit with our existing team. Her background in dealing with high value cases and executries will be invaluable as we continue to add to the expertise we offer our clients across the family generations in wealth and succession planning, tax, trusts, wills and family welfare."

Last month Anderson Strathern announced a 2.5% increase in turnover to £21.5m for the year to 31 August 2017, with net profit up by 4% and profits per equity partner up 9%.
