Partner and director hires at Anderson Strathern

Legal firm Anderson Strathern has made two senior hires to its Glasgow office.

Tom McEntegart joins as a partner in the Dispute Resolution team. A solicitor advocate and Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors-accredited evaluative mediator, he joins from TLT where he was a partner and former head of its Scotland operation.

Mark Templeton has been appointed a director and Anderson Strathern's head of Immigration. He joins from specialist immigration law firm Quinn, Martin & Langan.

Firm chair Bruce Farquhar said: "Tom is a great hire for the firm, both in terms of his commercial dispute experience and his track record in building high-performing teams within a UK-wide law firm."

Managing partner Murray McCall added: "Mark has worked in immigration law for many years, and is a well-known and much respected lawyer in a specialist area that is growing significantly post-Brexit. We see a lot of demand in this area, for both businesses and private individuals and it’s another important hire for the firm and for our clients."
