WJM acquires Inverness firm Macandrew & Jenkins

Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie has announced its acquisition of Inverness practice Macandrew & Jenkins WS Ltd.

WJM, which has an office in Inverness among its five locations across Scotland – says the move will strengthen the firms’ collective service offering across a range of key sectors. Macandrew & Jenkins specialises in rural and estate work, wills, trusts and executries, and residential and commercial property.

Fraser Gillies, WJM managing partner, commented: “This is an exciting moment which enhances our service offering for clients across the Highlands & Islands and Moray, particularly in areas such as property and private client work.

“Macandrew & Jenkins has a sterling reputation and has cultivated a loyal client base through its client-centric approach which perfectly complements our ethos here at WJM. We look forward to working with our new colleagues.”

James Wotherspoon, managing partner of Macandrew & Jenkins, added: “We take great pride in offering an excellent personal service and these are values which are wholly shared by WJM.

“We will continue to provide this as partners in WJM, while expanding the range of services which we can provide.”

WJM previously merged with Inverness firm MacArthur & Co in 2016 and acquired Calum I Duncan Corporate Lawyers in 2019. It also recently announced that it is combining with UK practice Irwin Mitchell, subject to FCA approval.
