Euan Duncan to chair MacRoberts

Legal firm MacRoberts LLP announced today that Euan Duncan is the firm’s new chair.

He takes on the role as part of an updated and widened strategic management of the firm. The new role will involve the strategic development of the business, maintaining and acquiring new clients and contacts and internally encouraging and supporting all members of staff and partners. Neil Kennedy continues in the managing partner role he took up in May this year.

A member of MacRoberts’ management board since 2015, Mr Duncan is an accredited intellectual property specialist. He joined the firm as a partner in 2012 and now heads the Food & Drink sector group, an industry sector that has seen significant growth for the firm in the last few years. His role as chair will be in addition to his practice.

Mr Duncan commented: "MacRoberts is a firm that has a strategic vision for growth in the next few years. I am hugely proud to be a partner and the chair of MacRoberts and look forward to assisting with the implementation and achievement of that vision. Our focus will always be on our clients, our business and our people and this role allows me to focus on all of these. I fully support Neil’s approach and his plans for the future of the firm and I look forward to working closely with him to achieve these."

Mr Kennedy added: "I am delighted Euan has been appointed our new chair. In my first year as managing partner we have set out ambitious plans for the next three years and Euan is the ideal candidate to help us take these forward as we develop our business."
