Ms Dunning will focus on supporting clients with legal advice on executries, as well as wills and powers of attorney, tax and care planning.

She has nine years’ PQE with a particular focus on all aspects of private client advice including executries.

Ms Dunning commenced her career as a trainee with Stewart & Watson, moving to RCCW initially to provide maternity cover for the private client team and continuing her career with the firm for three years. She then pursued her career with a local law firm in Huntly, close to her home town Keith.

She now returns to RCCW’s headquarters in Albyn Place, Aberdeen and is “looking forward to supporting clients in both Aberdeen and across the north-east region”, the firm said.
