Morag Hutchison has rejoined the firm as a partner after training at Shepherd and Wedderburn and spending a number of years in the employment team in the early part of her career.

Ms Hutchison, who has specialised in employment law for over 20 years, 10 of which as a partner, has experience in advising clients in a number of Shepherd and Wedderburn’s key sectors including energy, house building, financial services, hospitality & leisure and food & drink.

She said: “It feels really special to get the opportunity to return to the employment team at Shepherd and Wedderburn to work with Neil Maclean and his colleagues. They are a brilliant team, and I am really excited about joining them.”

Her arrival follows the recent appointment of Laura Macdonald, who brings with her over 15 years of experience in both contentious and non-contentious employment matters for both employers and employees.

Andrew Blain, managing partner, said: “We are delighted to have Morag and Laura join our employment practice. Their arrival enhances our platform and capability to meet the evolving needs of our clients.”
