At the same time John Grant, employment and insolvency law specialist who joined WJM as a trainee, has been promoted from senior associate to partner.

There are three new appointments in the firm’s Inverness office. Yasmin Myles  has joined the Commercial Property team as an associate. Joining from local firm Macleod & MacCallum, she also worked for some years at international practice CMS.

The Inverness team has also welcomed Lorraine Sloggie and Krysty Steele as a trainee paralegal and paralegal respectively.

Welcoming his new colleagues, Fraser Gillies, managing partner at WJM, commented: “This raft of appointments and promotions is testament to the successful start to 2023 we’ve experienced as a firm.
