Johnston Carmichael bolsters private client team

Johnston Carmichael has bolstered its private client advisory team with three new senior appointments.

Katy Burke has been appointed as director, with Michael Jamieson and Roger Campbell both having been appointed as senior tax managers.

The private client tax team’s head count has increased by 17% over the past 12 months.

Partner and head of private client tax, Alexandra Docherty, said: “During and since the pandemic we saw increased demand for our private client tax services, as clients recognised the importance of having in place a clear tax strategy and a strong relationship with trusted advisers.

“Katy, Michael and Roger are highly experienced advisers who each bring specialist skills in personal tax, both advisory and compliance, and will complement our existing skilled team to drive the business forward.”

She added: “In the past year we’ve recruited 10 new advisory experts to the team, and we continue to invest in our people at all stages. As a result of our recent recruitment drive, we’re in a very strong position to capitalise on the opportunities that lie ahead for Johnston Carmichael.”
