Private client partner hire for WJM

Solicitors Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie have announced the hire of Roddy Harrison, a private client specialist, as a partner.

Mr Harrison, who brings considerable expertise in high level tax and estate planning, headed BTO Solicitors’ Private Client team for 16 years before becoming partner at Dentons in 2018.

Principally based in Edinburgh, he will work with the Private Client team across WJM’s four other Scottish offices, in Glasgow, Dunfermline, Inverness and Dunblane.

Ian Macdonald, head of Private Client, commented: “We’re excited to have Roddy on board – his significant experience in all aspects of private client work make him a fantastic asset to our team. The private client and wealth management areas of the business remained strong throughout last year and we look forward to working alongside Roddy as we further strengthen our offering in 2021.”
