Alan Masson and Murray McCall join employment team
<p>Anderson Strathern has made two partner appointments in its growing employment unit, doubling the number of partners in the department.</p> <p>Alan Masson, formerly a partner with Macroberts, and Murray McCall, who was an associate at McGrigors, have joined the firm, which now has a Glasgow presence as well as its main Edinburgh office. </p> <p>Alan Masson is a well known employment lawyer and his appointment is a significant catch for the firm. He joins the team currently led by Alun Thomas. Murray McCall will help expand the Glasgow office.</p> <p>Anderson Strathern chairman, Robert Carr, believes the appointments will send a strong signal to the marketplace. </p> <p> He said: “Our employment unit has achieved a real coup in attracting partners of this calibre. It is testament to the current standing of the unit, and its future potential, that skilled practitioners such as Alan and Murray wish to join us. Both lawyers bring formidable skill sets and experience and I’m sure that they will be instrumental in Anderson Strathern’s ongoing drive to be the best full service law firm in Scotland.”</p>
