WJM promotes internal talent

Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP (WJM) has announced the promotion of Joanne Ockrim to senior associate and Esme Macfarlane to associate.

Ms Ockrim qualified in 2002 having joined WJM as a trainee. As well as her Scottish commercial property practice, her dual qualification means she also manages a considerable English property portfolio on behalf of clients.

Ms Macfarlane qualified in 2010 and works in WJM’s renewable energy team, having joined the firm in 2016. Her focus is on commercial property transactions in renewable energy projects.

WJM’s managing partner Fraser Gillies said: “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.”
