Brodies makes Inverness partner hire

Brodies has added to its Highlands and Islands practice with the appointment of Gary Webster as partner.

Mr Webster joins the rural business practice in Brodies' Inverness office from Ledingham Chalmers, where he was a partner. With 19 years' legal experience, he acts for landowners and rural business owners, specialising in crofting law and the purchase and sale of farms and estates, as well as renewable energy projects.

Brodies' managing partner Nick Scott commented: "Our commitment to current and future clients in the Highlands and Islands is underpinned by building a practice of local experts, backed by top ranked specialists across the wider firm. Gary's appointment brings local knowledge and legal expertise in the Highlands and Islands rural market to our clients, and his experience with renewables projects will be of particular value."
