Claire Macpherson

Ms Macpherson is dual-accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as a specialist in both private client tax and trust law – an accolade held by only a small number of practitioners in the country.

She has extensive experience advising clients on inheritance tax and capital gains tax planning, including work with international families and complex cross‑border arrangements. Her specialist knowledge in domicile and succession matters adds significant depth to MFMac’s offering.

She said: “I am genuinely delighted to be joining MFMac at such an exciting point in the firm’s growth. The private client team is known for its technical excellence and collaborative approach, and I look forward to contributing to its continued success. Supporting individuals and families with complex tax, trust and succession matters is a real privilege and I am pleased to bring my experience to a firm with such a strong reputation across Scotland.”

Chris Harte, CEO of MFMac, said: “Claire’s appointment represents a significant enhancement of our private client capability. Her dual accreditation, international expertise and outstanding reputation make her an exceptional addition to the team. MFMac is committed to building one of Scotland’s leading private client practices and Claire’s arrival will deepen the support we provide to individuals, families and business owners navigating increasingly complex tax and estate planning landscapes.”
