Commenting on the acquisition, CEO Robert Graham-Campbell said: “We are pleased to welcome this highly respected team to our leading private client group. We are committed to continually strengthening our private client and tax legal offering, also demonstrated by the promotion of Lianne Lodge to Partner earlier this year, and the appointments of Solicitors Gillian Wilson and Fariha Haque to the team.

“The transfer underpins our commitment to the sector as advisers on private client, trust, tax and succession planning.”

Ms Dundas said: “Gillespie Macandrew is a great fit for our clients. They are leading advisors in the private client sector and we are looking forward to working within an experienced team of specialists.”
