Just days after Scottish firms Morton Fraser and MacRoberts announced their intention to merge, Irwin Mitchell also unveiled plans to combine with Scottish firm Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie (WJM) in what appears to be the start of a Scottish consolidation movement.
While Irwin Mitchell already operates in Glasgow, focusing on banking and finance and personal injury, the merger with WJM would give it access to the corporate, private client, property, and asset management markets in Edinburgh, Dunfermline, Inverness and Dunblane.
