Ryan Russell

Mr Russell, 41, has built up a reputation nationally acting in many high-profile and ground-breaking employment cases in recent years while progressing through the ranks of MML Law, which he joined as a trainee.

He is a former Scottish Legal News ‘Lawyer of the Month’ and he succeeds founding partner John Muir who retired recently. Mr Russell is a proud Dundonian, a Morgan FP, a graduate of the University of Dundee and a family man who has three children with wife Laura.

He is accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as an employment law specialist and a series of triumphs in David and Goliath battles against HMRC and major UK and international companies has resulted in his being instructed in cases across Scotland. 

Mr Russell said: “I want to carry on the work of my predecessor, concentrating on getting the best results for our clients and building on our strong Dundee roots. As a medium-sized firm we can concentrate on attaining positive outcomes for our clients and tailoring our efforts to their requirements. We want to retain the personal touch.”

He added: “Anyone who knows me or anything about the firm John Muir and Jim Laverty have built over the last three decades knows that we are passionate about getting results and supporting people through often difficult or stressful legal procedures.  We have a first-class team at MML and I think that we stand out in the current legal landscape of corporate firms. I am genuinely excited to get started in my new role and continue to build on the great success the firm has enjoyed.”
