Scottish firm Brodies has further boosted its market-leading commercial litigation team with the appointment of Robson McLean head of litigation, Robin Macpherson, as a partner.

Macpherson, who is a solicitor advocate, will join the firm at the beginning of next month. His appointment will bring the firm’s top rated litigation department up to six partners and 21 solicitors, four of whom are solicitor advocates. The departure leaves the Edinburgh-based Robson McLean with 11 partners.
