STRONACHS LLP, a leading independent law firm with offices in Aberdeen and Inverness, has announced that Callum Armstrong, Partner in the firm’s Corporate team has been shortlisted as ‘Rising Star of the Year’ in the Legal 500 Scotland Awards 2024.

The Legal 500 is an annual legal publication that reviews and ranks law firms and lawyers in over 150 jurisdictions and is based on considerable feedback from clients and peers.

The awards recognise outstanding talent from lawyers, law firms and in-house legal departments across Scotland. The shortlist and winners are based on the Legal 500’s market-leading independent research for the annual UK Solicitors guide.

Callum regularly advises both domestic and international clients on a wide variety of general corporate work and specialises in share or asset acquisitions/disposals, corporate reorganisations and commercial contracts, including joint venture agreements and banking/security documentation.

Commenting on the nomination, Callum Armstrong said: “It’s great to be shortlisted alongside a number of my peers. I’m fortunate to work with a great team at Stronachs and this recognition is as much a reflection of our collective efforts as it is of my individual work. I’m looking forward to continuing to drive success for our clients and the firm.

“Congratulations to all finalists, I look forward to celebrating at the awards later this year!”

Ross Gardner, Partner and Head of Corporate, said: “We are delighted that Callum has been shortlisted in this year’s awards.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
