Scottish firm Shepherd & Wedderburn has boosted its technologies and intellectual property team with a new partner to head the firm’s Glasgow operation.

Joanna Boag-Thompson, from MacRoberts, will be working with Liz Boag-Thompson, Shepherds’ UK head of intellectual property and technology. Chief executive Paul Hally said the appointment will allow McRobb to concentrate on large scale infrastructure and IT projects, and will help the firm to focus on the technology company market in the west of Scotland.
