He is also an accredited specialist in public procurement law and an active member of Anderson Strathern’s food & drink sector group.

Mr Campbell leads the firm’s specialist tax practice and provides estate, succession and tax planning advice to many of the firm’s largest family clients and their other advisers.He is a double accredited, with recognition in both tax and trust law. As a result of legislative changes and the recent Brexit vote, Mr Campbell offers advice in guiding clients through the changing tax landscape.

Managing partner Murray McCall commented: “I’d like to offer my warm congratulations not only to Douglas and Martin, but also to all our colleagues who have been promoted and wish them continued success in their new roles. The promotions are well deserved and demonstrate the strength of the firm.”

Mr McLachlan said: “It’s an exciting time to become a partner at Anderson Strathern - the firm is going from strength to strength. I’m looking forward to developing the firm’s IP/IT, commercial, competition and public procurement expertise at a time when clients face unprecedented challenges and opportunities caused by technology, innovation and the commercial and regulatory consequences of Brexit.”

Mr Campbell added: “We have a market leading position in tax and private client services in this area and I look forward to playing a key role in our continuing success and growth.

“The devolution of Scottish taxes, land reform and potential further succession reform combined with the ever-changing tax landscape means it is more important than ever that clients are provided with tailored advice and practical solutions.”
