Member News: Stronachs Recognised Among Scotland’s Leading Law Firms for High Net Worth Private Client Expertise

Stronachs LLP, a leading Scottish law firm known for delivering high-quality legal advice to businesses, owners, and individuals, has retained its Band 2 ranking for Private Wealth Law in the latest Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide.

This recognition reflects the firm’s specialist capability in private client work, which complements its strong reputation for delivering commercially focused advice across key sectors.

The 2025 guide also highlights a standout recognition for Jaclyn Russell, Partner and Head of Private Client, who has been ranked Band 1 in the Private Wealth Law category, placing her among the top private client lawyers in Scotland and one of only four Band 1-ranked practitioners based in Aberdeen.

In addition, Partner Kirsten Anderson and Legal Director Karen Oliver have both been recognised once again as Up and Coming practitioners in the private wealth law field, reflecting the depth of talent and expertise within the team.

The team’s continued success reinforces Stronachs’ reputation for providing trusted, technically strong advice to high-net-worth individuals, families and business owners.

Jaclyn Russell commented: “It’s a real honour to be recognised in this way. The ranking reflects not only the relationships I’ve built with clients and other professional advisers over the years, but also the strength of the team around me. We take great pride in delivering advice that’s personal, practical, and focused on what matters most to our clients.”

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.
