Two more partners for gunnercooke in Scotland

International law firm gunnercooke has hired two more partners to its Scottish presence. 

Katy Wedderburn, an employment specialist with over 20 years' experience, joins from MacRoberts LLP, partner and head of Employment Law; and Alex Innes, a dual qualified lawyer with 30 years' experience as a law firm partner and latterly as a business consultant, joins the firm as a partner in Banking & Finance.

Outside of law, Ms Wedderburn is a director of the Merchants House of Glasgow, and honorary secretary and a director of the Royal Yachting Association (Scotland). Mr Innes enjoys ultra-running and road cycling, and is the company secretary of the Edinburgh International Television Festival.  

gunnercooke, which operates on a fee sharing basis, now has six partners in Scotland, five of whom are dual qualified in Scotland and England & Wales, working in real estate, employment, and corporate and commercial law. 

Corporate/commercial partner Bill Fowler commented: “We are delighted to welcome Katy and Alex to the team in Scotland, further enhancing our real estate and corporate offering for clients. I’m sure our small, but rapidly growing team, as well as the wider international gunnercooke network, will benefit massively from Katy and Alex’s expertise.”
