Craig Muirhead (litigation) and Rachel Hendry (commercial property) have been promoted to the partnership while Abbey Freer (conveyancing) has been promoted to associate.

Managing partner David McElroy said: “These three promotions are all well earned and richly deserved. Everyone at the firm is delighted that Craig and Rachel have become Partners and their promotion brings the total number of partners at the firm to eight, the highest number of partners the firm has had in its 150 year history. 

“Rachel trained with the firm and Craig joined us at a very early stage in his career, and their development and retention has been a key part of our recent success. Abbey also trained with us and her promotion to associate comes at a time when her department is growing significantly.

“We have a number of ambitious growth plans in place as we enter our 150th year and Craig, Rachel and Abbey’s promotions highlight the value we place in developing and retaining talent.”
