Anderson Strathern continues to pursue growth agenda with new lateral hire

Anderson Strathern has announced the lateral hire of private client partner David Campbell from Balfour & Manson. Mr Campbell’s arrival marks a further increase in private client expertise at the firm and demonstrates its continued pursuit of growth through lateral hires.

Mr Campbell has over 25 years of experience advising generations of families in the full range of private services including wills, trusts, tax planning, succession planning and powers of attorney.

He joins the firm at a time when there is increased growth in the demand for specialist legal services for private individuals and will focus on all the services required by families across all age groups.

Mr Campbell lives in East Lothian and, although based in the firm’s Edinburgh office, will boost the firm’s East Lothian presence from its Haddington office which is focused on private client and residential property growth.

He said: “I saw joining Anderson Strathern as a tremendous opportunity to become part of a market-leading private client department but also a firm with a focus on the future and a commitment to excellence and also to developing new business in this area.

“I am looking forward to working with everyone at the firm and the excellent set of clients which the private client department has. I am delighted at the range of services which my existing client base can expect from Anderson Strathern.”

Head of private client, Colin Henderson, said: “It is genuinely fantastic to have someone of the calibre of David joining us and bringing not only expertise in the full range of legal services needed by individuals and their families but a demonstrable talent for developing new business while at the same time being a thoroughly likeable and talented individual.”

Managing partner, Murray McCall, added: “We have been saying for some time now that carefully planned and structured growth comes through our key lateral hires, boutique acquisitions and ‘best friends’ arrangements. I am genuinely delighted at the arrival of someone of David Campbell’s stature and it is a real boost for our colleagues in the private client team.”
