Stronachs has announced that Partner and Head of Private Client, Jaclyn Russell, has been awarded a dual accreditation from the Law Society of Scotland.

Jaclyn has been accredited as a Specialist in Private Client Tax and Trusts Law, becoming one of only four solicitors in Scotland to hold this dual accreditation.  

The accreditation scheme recognises solicitors who demonstrate strong working knowledge and skill in different areas of law. It is a hallmark of excellence that peers and clients can trust and recognises ability and experience. To become accredited, lawyers need to demonstrate and evidence their ability in dealing with a range of complex or novel matters.

This announcement follows recent success at being shortlisted in this year’s Scottish Legal Awards and outstanding Chambers High Net Worth Guide rankings for both the Private Client team and its senior team, reflecting the team’s exceptional service and expertise in managing the affairs of high net worth individuals.  

Jaclyn said: “I am delighted to achieve this recognition from the Law Society of Scotland. It not only strengthens our private client offering but demonstrates our level of in-depth knowledge and ability to offer specialist advice on tax and estate planning matters to our clients.”

On behalf of Stronachs’ Management Committee, Neil Forbes, Partner, said: “We are committed to the development of our people and congratulate Jaclyn on her achievement.

“The dual accreditation reflects her hard work and demonstrates her profound knowledge and skill in navigating complex tax and trust issues for our clients.”
