WJM acquires Kingussie practice Robertson & Co

Legal firm Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP (WJM), which operates in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness and Dunblane, is acquiring the practice of Robertson & Co of Kingussie.

Robertson & Co will close at the end of this month following the retiral of the firm’s sole partner, Keith Robertson, after 45 years in the legal profession. WJM has reached an agreement with Robertson & Co for the acquisition of its business, and for the storage and retention of wills and titles. Ian Donaldson and Angus MacLeod, partners in WJM’s Inverness office, will be jointly responsible for looking after the needs of former Robertson & Co clients.

The practice of Robertson & Co was established by Peter Wright, formerly a partner with WJM in Glasgow, who moved to Kingussie in 1963. Keith Robertson joined the firm in the 1970s.

Mr Robertson commented: “I am very pleased to commend WJM to my clients for their future legal work. I have worked closely with WJM throughout my career and have always had the greatest respect for their professionalism and integrity.”

WJM's Inverness office has also welcomed private client associate Alison Skinner and trainee soicitor Amy McDougall. Ms Skinner, who qualified in 2009, joins from R & R Urquhart in Nairn and will specialise in wills, trusts, executries, powers of attorney and guardianships.
