Promotion for two at Wright Johnston & Mackenzie

Two promotions have been announced by legal firm Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP.

Joanne Ockrim, who joined WJM as a trainee and qualified in 2002, advances to senior associate in commercial property. Dual qualified in England & Wales, she also manages a considerable English property portfolio on behalf of clients.

Esme Macfarlane has been made an associate in WJM’s renewable energy team. Qualified in 2010, she joined the firm last year to focus on commercial property transactions in renewable energy projects.

Managing partner Fraser Gillies commented: “I believe our commitment to remaining an independent Scottish-owned and managed firm, along with our ability to reward the progression of our talented people like Joanne and Esme who are already helping us deliver on our vision of market leading client service, has helped us make some key gains over the last year. We plan to significantly build on these gains in the year ahead.”
