Ryan Morton

Mr Morton will be primarily based at the firm’s Bearsden office, bringing more than a decade of experience advising individuals and families on private client and conveyancing matters.

Before joining Drummond Miller, he spent almost five years with Jones Whyte in Glasgow, progressing from solicitor to senior associate and taking a leading role within its executry practice.

He said: “I am delighted to be joining Drummond Miller at such an exciting point in my career and the firm’s evolution.

“Drummond Miller has an excellent reputation for combining specialist legal expertise with a genuinely personal approach to client care and those are values which are particularly important in private client work.

“People often need a lawyer at some of the most difficult or important moments in their lives and I have always believed that good legal advice should be clear, practical and compassionate.

“I am looking forward to working with the wider Private Client team, getting to know our clients across Scotland and playing my part in the continued growth of the firm.”

David Brown, chair of Drummond Miller, added: “Ryan is an excellent addition to the partnership. He brings considerable technical expertise in executry and succession matters together with strong experience of leading and developing legal teams.

“Our private client practice is built around providing individuals and families with trusted specialist advice at important stages in their lives. Ryan shares that approach and his appointment further strengthens the depth of expertise we can offer our clients.

“We are continuing to invest in talented people who share our commitment to high-quality legal advice and exceptional client care and Ryan’s appointment is an important part of that.”
