Our People

We have 20 partners, 47 other professional staff and 44 support staff, working together in offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness. From here you can put faces to names.

Our relationship with each other and with WJM’s clients is built on trust and respect. We enjoy learning new ideas and striving to apply our knowledge to help you to achieve what you want for yourself, your loved ones, your business and your community.

We enjoy working in WJM rather than other law firms because of our values and vision, because it’s challenging and because it’s fun. Law is a serious business, but the WJM Social Committee and our in-house satirical publication ‘Aye Wright! Johnston!’ makes sure that we aren’t allowed to take ourselves too seriously.
