I’m the Head of our Inverness office, serving our clients throughout the Highlands & Islands, and beyond. As a business lawyer, I help people turn good ideas into profitable and successful businesses.

My work is all about getting to know you, your business and your family.

Once I know and understand your needs, I then help our wider team to deliver WJM's wide range of expert legal services in a joined-up way that lets you achieve what you want to achieve, whether that's in your business life or at home.

“Angus was very patient and very efficient so it was a smooth process. It was well explained and he was always available.”
