The firm has maintained its band 1 rankings for private wealth law services in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh, and has again held its band 4 UK ranking for family/matrimonial law – one of only two law firms in Scotland to be included in the list.

The Chambers UK High Net Worth Guide – which bases its rankings on detailed research into firms and lawyers, and feedback from clients and legal peers – also ranks Brodies band 1 for its expertise in private wealth law as a national leader outside London and recognises seven of its personal and family lawyers in the individual rankings.

Mark Stewart, partner and head of personal and family at Brodies, said: “These latest rankings demonstrate our colleagues’ commitment to providing a high-quality service to our clients, often at a time of particular sensitivity or complexity in their own lives.

“In the last 12 months, the practice has continued to evolve. Following the promotion of Sarah Lilley and Susie Mountain to partner, we were also delighted to welcome our new partner, Jacqueline Stroud, to the firm earlier this year.

“Alongside, Susie becoming a solicitor advocate, and an additional six accreditations being awarded to colleagues in the practice, this underpins our continued focus on delivering a comprehensive service across Scotland.”

Partner Shaun George, who leads the family practice, added: “We continue to develop and expand our team for the future, whilst looking to the challenges and circumstances facing our clients today. Our lawyers have worked closely with our clients over the last year, navigating what are often unique circumstances. We are proud that we continue to provide specialist and cost-effective advice to all those with whom we work, across the length and breadth of Scotland.”
