Donna Brennan

As part of plans to grow the firm’s private client practice in Scotland, Donna Brennan, formerly of Blackadders, joins the team in Glasgow, specialising in complex private wealth matters, and advising on all aspects of succession planning, tax issues and the creation and management of trusts.

Sarah Walton, managing partner, said: “I am thrilled to welcome our new partners to the firm. Each brings years’ worth of experience that will be instrumental in driving our continued growth and evolution to top 30 and helping us further expand the services we offer our clients. I wish them all the best with their future careers at Weightmans, and I look forward to seeing their contributions.”

Claire McCracken, partner and Glasgow office head, said: “I am thrilled to welcome Donna to the Glasgow office. She brings with her a wealth of experience and expertise in private wealth and will help us grow our full service offering to clients in Scotland.”

The announcement comes after the national firm relocated its Glasgow office to The Ink Building on Douglas Street, in the heart of the city centre, earlier this year. The move represents a significant investment from the firm into its Scottish practice, as well as demonstrating its commitment to ESG, The Ink Building being an environmentally friendly space with an EPC rating of A.
