Archibald Campbell & Harley, WS are pleased to announce that Lisa Wilkie and Martin Bennett became Associates of the firm from 1st June.
Lisa is based in the firm's Litigation Department and is experienced in all aspects of Sheriff Court and Court of Session litigation and appears regularly in the Sheriff Court. Lisa's clients include those in the financial, professional, manufacturing and trade retail sectors. She advises them on contractual claims, insolvency and the recovery of secured and unsecured assets.
Martin joined the firm in 2005. He deals with all aspects of Commercial Property and has vast experience in landlord and tenant work. Martin has a particular interest in the property aspects of the leisure industry and enjoys an excellent reputation in that field.
Managing Partner, Rod Macphail, says: "We are delighted that Lisa and Martin are becoming Associates. They are talented lawyers and highly experienced in each of their fields. We are pleased to be able to offer these in-house promotions in addition to our recent recruitment of two associates from other firms."
These recent recruits are Kenneth Irons, who joins the Commercial Property department, and Richard Murray, who is working in the Private Client department.
Kenneth is well known in Commercial Property circles, particularly for his experience in Property Finance, and his appointment strengthens the firm's widely respected property practice.
Richard Murray specialises in trusts, tax and executries and the firm will benefit from the breadth of his knowledge and expertise derived from more than twenty years of dealing with issues concerning the private client. He is a member of the Society of Law Accountants of Scotland (SOLAS), a lecturer on Executry Administration for the Society's training courses and a member of the SOLAS/Law Society of Scotland Examination Board.
Rod Macphail comments:
"These two appointments show our commitment to strengthening our service across the firm and to ensuring that clients receive the best possible service from us.
Our willingness to meet client demands has resulted in the firm opening an office in Glasgow for the first time in its history. We were conscious of a desire on the part of some of our existing clients based in and around Glasgow to be more accessible to them, and our new office, based in Park Terrace, allows us to fulfil this, as well as to allowing us to build all parts of our business in that market."
