Four partner promotions at Stronachs

Legal firm Stronachs has announced the promotion of four of its senior associates to partner.

All four built their careers with the firm. Inverness-based Ross Linn, in corporate and commercial, and Jaclyn Russell (private client) and Bob McDiarmid (dispute resolution), both in Aberdeen, were assumed as partners from 1 June, while Emma Stephen, of the Aberdeen commercial property team, will become a partner on her return from maternity leave on 1 September.

The firm has also promoted commercial property lawyer Bess Innes, corporate and energy lawyers Callum Armstrong and Laura Bisset, dispute resolution team member Jennifer Love, and employment lawyer Rowan Alexander, to senior solicitor.

Stronachs’ managing partner, David Rennie, commented: “After more than two years of ongoing adjustment due to the lower oil price, we are starting to see positive movement in the economy.

“Against that background these appointments recognise our vision for the future of the firm, which will be realised through the achievements of the talented lawyers we have at our disposal.

“Ross, Jaclyn, Bob and Emma each have a vital role to play in leading our service offering to key clients, while offering counsel and support to the generation following them on the career ladder."

The promotions add to Stronachs' previous partner strength of 19,
