Stronachs announces new leadership team

Scottish firm Stronachs LLP has announced the appointment of its first ever chairman and a new managing partner.

David Rennie (pictured, left) has led the firm as managing partner for the last 15 years, and will now take on the role of chairman, continuing client work in addition to business development and mentoring. Partner Neil Forbes (right) will take over as managing partner as well as continuing to act as head of the corporate team.

David commented: ‘In my 15 years as managing partner the firm has continued to build its client base and reputation as a leading independent law firm in the North and North-east with in-depth sector knowledge and legal expertise that rivals any of the larger, national and international firms.

‘We recently relocated to new premises in Albyn Place, and with the successful completion of this move, it seemed like the right time for me to hand over the reins to Neil and I have every confidence that he will lead our team to even greater success in the future.’

Neil added: ‘David has made a huge contribution to the firm over a number of years and it’s very pleasing that we are retaining his experience and expertise as both our chairman and partner.

‘I joined the firm in 1993 and it is a privilege to now be in the position to lead such a talented team. Our recent appointments and the move to new premises demonstrates our commitment to investing in the future and I have every confidence in the future growth and success of Stronachs.’
